[AccessD] OT directory folder as URL

Hi John:

What you are suggesting is using webdav...I have read about but never tried
to automate the process. I believe it only works if the host server is using
IIS4.5 or greater or the host server is running a service like ZOPE. It
seems simple on the surface to create a psuedo directory on your a client
computer which is actually a call to a remote web page...as MS's older O/S
could do.(?)

Thanks 
Jim
