link to a .EXE file

windows

Guest
Hi Everyone!

Do I have any way to create a link to a .EXE file? I`m creating a intranet (ASP, Access and HTML), it gonna have the posibility to access the offices applications (excel, word, powerpoint, etc) from a browser... Could I do that?

I create a IFRAME to a folder, this folder have the ICONS of the offices application, I just want to know if there any other way to do it...

Thanks

Javier

Internet Explorer does have some limited connections to the Office Suite - I'm not exactly sure if it actually opens up Word, though, for example, or whether it just opens up the document in IE.

More than likely this is going to require some bit of ActiveXA quick bit of Googling found this nifty bit of code....


<script language="JavaScript">
function startWord(strFile)
{
var myApp = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
if (myApp != null)
{
myApp.Visible = true;
myApp.Documents.Open(strFile);
}
}
</script>


Which is client side so you'd prolly use a link to point to it.

Here's the entire document <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.whirlywiryweb.com/q%2Fofficedocs.asp">http://www.whirlywiryweb.com/q%2Fofficedocs.asp</a><!-- m -->

Hope that helpsWuaoooo!!!!

Sorry for so many questions, but your answers are amazing!

How do I call that JavaScript? how do I link it?

That will warn the user that there is an ActiveX Script running that could pose as a security risk.
