First off I am NO programmer so this is why I decided to post something here. I didn't know if anything exists for this.

We are looking for a way to publish documents to an IIS server that could be either downloaded or emailed. Something like a directory list with checkboxes next to each document (approximately 50 docs) where you could select multiple docs and then email them to a recipient. I guess I posted here since we like asp and the dynamic updating.

The user will have a choice to download or email the documents? If there is no cost then the simplest way to download them is to
a)store inside a directory
b)display links on a page to each of the documents.
With this method, you just need to have instructions for the user so they know that for windows machines they are to right click the link and then to click Save Target As.

Now the Email part will require a bit of asp programming. To use your idea for checkboxes a simple solution is to
a) store the documents inside a database
b) name each of the checkboxes with the documents name, or a name corresponding to that record in the database.
c) use a for loop to loop through each of the selected checkboxes and then once done send the email to the user
