| Ok Lads & Lass's I have a question for all you clever ppl:
"How can I launch WinWord or Excell etc from a link on a web page?" i.e. what would be the syntax of the <href .....>?

| Hey Yeti,
What I remember is when you click on the link which is a MS Word or Excel document, it will start the program automatically. | |
|
| What I'm after is that when you click on a button it fires up word...excel etc... it does not work if you link the button to the wiword.exe or the like..try it and see...hence my question. | |
|
| So long as you make a hyperlink in an html page to an office file, the application will launch within the browser window. This works in IE i dont know about net nav, I actually stopped paying attention to that app a long time ago. IE recognizes the MIME registration through the Win Explorer so all you need to do is <a href="worddoc.doc" id="wordlink"> Click for Word </a>
That should do it for ya. same with ppt.
Take Care |
