RevWeb, IE and saving data

[Richard Miller]

I have tried disabling every possible Internet security setting in IE, 
but it will still not allow a revlet to save data to disk. The only 
method that works is to completely disable the entire Internet security 
zone. But few (if any) users would be comfortable doing that, as IE 
throws up all kinds of warnings. It's a bit bizarre that IE lets you go 
in and customize dozens of settings, yet none of them seem to effect 
this problem.

I'd really like to hear from Revolution management as to when this will 
be fixed. The usefulness of revlets is severely limited if you can't use 
them to save any data to disk under Internet Explorer. I may be missing 
some solution to this, but I can't find it.
