I would like to have a block in an Oracle 10g form that would show all of the PDF files in a particular folder on the user's C drive. The user should at least be able to double-click on the file to open it, and ideally be able to delete and rename the files, too.
The list of files should show the filename (obviously) as well as the size and date of the file.
The forms are running on a Solaris 10 server, accessed via Internet Explorer.
Any thoughts on how, or even if, that's possible?
You need to get WebUtil. It is a Free Forms add-in product specifically designed to solve the problem you are having. And a few other.

I have the following need to implement on Windows: file with files.
Originally I was thinking to use directory with extension. Something like "folderA.myappext", so when user clicks on it in Explorer, my app is launched instead of folder being opened. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a way to do that. Then I tried to use Alternate Data Streams. This works just fine, but several problems with it:
It works only in NTFS, so no way to send it via email or FTP as is;
Only WinRAR can properly archive it, and you still have to do extra clicks in the UI for that;
The real file size (with all streams in it) is not shown in Explorer and does not participate in showing free/used space, which can very quickly lead to big problems for the user.
No, I can't use zip or any other way to combine files into one - this is high-performance app that also requires write streaming (i.e. it changes data all the time).
Any idea how else to achieve my need on Windows? I know on MacOS you can use 'package', but there is nothing like that on Windows. Any idea?

You can't do it based on the extension because folders don't have extensions but you can do it with desktop.ini. Windows 7 and later supports custom verbs on folders.
A working example can be found here.
So I have a database file (name.db) on my desktop, as well as a project folder containing my program. I want to create a form to test my program, however I cant seem to get my contents from my database into the form, so I can't even test my code. I try to "connect a database" from the tools menu, but none of the options will allow me to connect my ".db" file.
Below are the images of what I'm trying to do, so you can get an idea.

The menu of different database options, none of which work

The Problem is, that you never make any requests/queries to your database. Since your database could and most probably does contain mutliple tables you should run a corresponding sql query and then display the result. The following link should give you a good starting point how to integrate sqlite with c++.
I have saved a complete webpage and there is also one folder saved with resources but when I delete webpage or move saved webpage to other directory then the folder associated with it also gets deleted or moved. So what is the code written behind it. Because I want to do same with my webpage and folder.
Thanks in advance for you kind help.
This "association" between the HTML file and its resources folder is a behaviour implemented by the Windows operating system.
It has nothing to due with a webpage in particular, with its HTML, JavaScript, or even with a particular browser.
Windows 2000 provides a simple way to connect a primary HTML file to its group of associated files. If Connected Files is enabled, when you perform any of the commands [Copy, Cut, Paste, Move, Delete, Send To] on a file or folder of associated files, the same command is performed on all connected files.
Even though the official page mentions "Windows 2000", the same behaviour is implemented in Windows XP and many (if not all) later versions of Windows.
See these pages:
Removing file / folder link after using “Save As…” then “Web Page, complete”
Operations on an HTML file or folder apply to similarly named folder or HTML file (from Microsoft support)
I have a client application where we try to check files in and out from SharePoint for editing. I am using SharePoint's SOAP interfaces and some FrontPage interfaces to do this. It used to work fine under SharePoint 2007, but with 2010 I can't check out or check in a file if I have the file open for editing. I get a message like "FileXXX is locked for exclusive use by DOMAIN\user" when I examine the returned error message. I also cannot update any of the user defined SharePoint fields for a file/list if the file is open for editing.
My question is this: Is there a way to change the access/lock for an open file to make it non-exclusive temporarily and then restore it?
Note: Some of my data files are opened using windows file handles (flat files) and others are opened using windows structured storage (compound document files).
This may not work for Sharepoint specifically, but the ReOpenFile() API does what you want. I don't know of any other way to do this.

I have a file on a Windows 2003 NTFS file system. It is called C:\MyFolder\MyFile.txt. First grant a user read access to the file. Then I remove the user's read access to the parent folder.
Now the user cannot use Windows Explorer to browse the folder and double click to open in Notepad. The user can go to Start (menu) Run and enter "C:\MyFolder\MyFile.txt" and the file will load in Notepad.
Can someone point me to some MSDN documentation that explains why this is? I've tried all the google and bing queries I can think of.
thanks much
See the 'Traverse Folder' permission in the table on this page:

It sounds more like a TechNet article than an MSDN one to me.
If you think about a directory/folder as not a file cabinet folder but rather a index card stuck to the front of the cabinet to say what is in the cabinet. This is effectively what a folder is on the file system (a index to where the files are.)
Because you have denied the user rights to what is in the folder you have denied them access to the index card. However, if they know the precise file they want then they can still access to the file which they have permissions for as this doesn't require a check on the index card.
Behind the scenes it is obviously a little more complicated but that is the basic view. I saw this technique used quite a bit on the *nix environments when I was at Uni to hide previous years assignments from the current batch of students. However, because they hadn't removed permissions from some files the tutors could still direct them to specific examples from previous years.
