how to prevent the public from downloading a wmf file from my webs

[Greg]

I am using Frontpage 2003 to maintain our website (www.bvinst.edu). I want to
be able to post .wmf files to a page on the website. I want users to be able
play the file but not download it to their computer? How do i prevent the
public from downloading a wmf file from my website? thanks

Not Possible
- by the time they have loaded the page it already is downloaded to their browser cache
(or if they can open it in WMP they can always do a File Save from there)

Only way is to convert the wmf Files to Flash (FLV) and run them from a custom Flash player (SWF)
- that way they have no access to the FLV content except from your site through your SWF
