Launching Word Client-Side

[Guest]

Can someone post the needed code that will allow me to launch word on the
client PC and have the filename specified as a variable. I have been working
on this and can't find any clear documentation that gives me what I need.
Thanks, Jason

From a browser? You don't. You can use Response.BinaryWrite
to write a file on your web server to the browser but you don't
get to open up a local file on the PC via a browser for
security reasons.

Robbe.

If I use an html link to open a word document word will open this file on
the server with the clients word, as the client has a file association setup
for .doc to utilize word. I need to replicate this for a file type that does
not have a file association for word EX: getting test.txt to open with word
instead of notepad on the clients PC. Is there a way I can specify what
application to use to open the file I pass it? Thanks again for your
help.........Jason
