opeening file in the client mechine

I"m building application that will get e mails from the mail server and i use mail component that give the option to save attachment in the client machine but not "open" them. I have two questions:

1) can i force the client machine to open the file after saving it?

2) how can i determine where to store the file? does any "temp" folders are the same in different machines?

3) are there a simple way to give client a way to choose the folder to store the file?

Hi,

For first i think this will help.

1) can i force the client machine to open the file after saving it?

--> Yes you can force them to download file not open. Please refer this post
