I have created a training CD for my companies web application. It is mainly in the form of Lotus Screencam tutorials. However, I have created the menu page in html with links to the various tutorials. However, whenever I link to one of the tutorials, I get the "Save to Disk or Run from Current Location" message box. How can I avoid this and go straight to the Screencam exe?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
Andy<!--content-->Well - that is the standard server response for anything other than a ---<br />
<br />
htm, cgi, pl, etc. etc. type file.<br />
<br />
And of course - if the user doesn't have the software that can open the file you prepared for him/her - they are stuffed!<br />
<br />
Remember... "Run from Current Location" may well be the best you can hope for -- by the way - what is wrong with this? Doesn't it take you to Screencam?<br />

Yep.<!--content-->Running apps from the internet is possible with an applet or an ActiveX control but I'm not a programmer so can not provide details. <br />

I think you are incorrect in your assumption. Most browsers are set to medium security (default setting) which allows signed activeX controls but does prompt when one is being Download <!--more-->ed from a website. <br />
