Hi all

I have an ASP site consisting of six screens: team leaders use this =
screens to add new members to the team and record various bits of =
information such as biographical details, sales figures, potential =
rating etc.  The data entered on each screen is saved into a SQL Server =
database before the next screen is displayed.  However, given that this =
site is used by a group of highly mobile sales team leaders, they now =
wish to have the option to add new members or modify them off-line. Each =
time they log onto the ASP login page, they would like the page to check =
if any locally saved files exist and save this to the database. =20

Given, this model is undesirable because of the potential for data loss. =
 However, if at their insistence, I were pressed into implementing it, =
there seems to be no readily available method to implement this =
solution:
*	the filesystemobject in VB/ASP can only access the local drive of the =
server which hosts the page
*	I've read that a cookie can only contain a maximum of 30 name/value =
pairs

If anyone has any suggestions regarding this problem I would greatly =
appreciate any help.
