Easiest way...use shortcuts and internet explorer

[Bert Van Valckenborgh]

Hi,
the solution with the shortcut works great when you're using it in an internet browser. I used it in Sharepoint and reporting services too.
Offcourse when people export the reports to excel, I got the same effort.
My solution?
I create a shortcut to internet explorer and I put as parameter the shortcut to the template of word.

Something like this:
...<server adrres>\SHORTCUTS\Launch_IE_With_Template.lnk

The command to launch the IE looks like this:
"<path IE>\IEXPLORE.EXE" "<network path>\SHORTCUTS\ShortcutToTemplate.lnk"

And this finally works in my report as well as in the exported excel.

The command to launch the IE with the lnk as parameter seemed to got lost in my last post:

"[path IE]\IEXPLORE.EXE" "[Path Shortcut]shortcutWordTemplate.lnk"
