How do I launch visio from a web page created by frontpage?

[Guest]

I have a simple hyperlink on a page that is linked to a visio .vst file
stored in the web folder for my site. When I click on the hyperlink, the
..vst file comes up, but it is being presented through the browser, not in
visio.

I tried adjusting the "configure editors" in the tools>options menu of front
page to include "Visio" as an editor for .vst and .vsd files pointing to
c:\program files\visio\visio32.exe. When I click on the hyperlink, two
sessions of visio come up with a message that says "file not found".

[Deep sigh] Help . . .

Zip it or rightclick and choose to save it to disk.
Remember that only people that have Visio will be able to see it.
If it is intended for a larger audience you should choose to export it
as GIF in Visio.

I'm using the webpage to deploy templates. So the assumption is that the
user attempting to use the template has Visio. The action I want is when the
hyperlink to the template is selected, Visio launches and loads up a new page
based on the template just as if the template had been selected in the
File>New drop down in Visio.

Zip it or rightclick and choose to save it to disk.

Since it is a recognized mime type you can't for internet users
If it is for an intranet (where users can change their IE settings) see if below also works for Visio
