Hi there,

When you say "I" what account are you referring to? Your own account? Or the account used by the web server (if you use IIS instead of the built in web server). You may want to take a look here:

great. Thanks. I fixed this problem but now when I try to download the file from the email. the download page does not come up it is blank. I see the directory where the file was uploaded too. For some reason my download page is blank and the dialogue box to download the file does not come up. Have you seen this problem before?

How does the download link in the e-mail look?

Thank you!!

I figured it had something to do with retrieving the file because when I comment this code from the load event. the page comes up.

code:
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        DisplayDownloadDialog(Config.ShareLocalFolderPath & _
         Resource.GetResourceFileName(Request.QueryString(" resourceID")))

End Sub

I pin pointed the problem but not sure how to fix it. When I replace the load event with the code below it works but it only retrieves the file with resource ID = 50:

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        DisplayDownloadDialog(Config.ShareLocalFolderPath & _
         Resource.GetResourceFileName("50"))

    End Sub

Are you sure there is a valid resourceID in the query string? And does that record exist in the database?
