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
