This should be easy....
What's the syntax for opening a word document (.doc) in Word application from my HTML/ASP page????
Thanks, Juls.if you just put a link to it, it should prompt for open/ save file in the surfers computer when clicked. No special formatting needed. If the surfer doesn not have word, it may prompt them to save the file.1)When I make a simple link (example below) the document opens up blank in the browser that looks similar to Word. I know that there is stuff in the .doc file that I am trying to open, however it shows up blank.

2)Actually what I really want to do is have a drop down box with the names of files. When a file is chosen i will check what the choice was and I need a command to open this file. And I have no idea what the command is.
HELP.. PLEASE!!!!!
Thanks,
Juls.

My wod opens as well (if I choose open from location) and my document appears exactly as I generated it. I used this to post my resume online, and it worked like a charm for win 98, NT, and mac users.Hi I am using Win NT.
Thanks so much for the help... I really appreciate it.

Hi!
As Dr. Web mentioned - that the only method, which all we know to call an word/excel file from HTML.
To set a drop-down list and make it really active - i would like to suggest to you to visit e-Forms (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eforms.8m.com">http://www.eforms.8m.com</a><!-- m -->) and give us the all the details - we will make it for you - don't worry it is all free.

Thanks for advice, but this eforms site is quite confusing and I don't see how it helps me or even how to use it.
If you couldexplain it further, I would appreciate it. Also, the link you gave for EForms site is misspelled.
Juls.Hi Juls!
Forget about the e-Forms web site. What I mean here is if you are interested I can make a pulldown list for your word/excel doc files, in a way as, any user select a file from that list, it will automatically loads thtat document in a separate windows.
I hope things are clear now. Sorry for the error in link, I always mistype that.
Anyway If you are interested send me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e --> with you file name and where they are located.
