Open Word w/doc from Jscript

Thomas Zemk #1 / 6	Open Word w/doc from Jscript I'm developing a web application on an intranet. After a user fills out a form for a request I need the user to complete a word document to be sent for approval. Company standard approval process. Is there any way to open up MS Word via Jscript on the click of a button? A code example would be great. I don't want to bring up MS Word in IE browser. I want to start MS Word. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tom

Richard M. Smit #2 / 6	Open Word w/doc from Jscript Thomas, To start Microsoft Word and have it open a Word document, you simply call window.open: window.open("http://myserver/mydoc.doc", "wordWindow"); Richard Quote: > I'm developing a web application on an intranet.

Rahul Maheshwar #3 / 6	Open Word w/doc from Jscript Hi Thomas, I am also working on a similar assignment , not on WORD but EXCEL. If you were to able to WORD on Client machine, form browser, could u tell me how did u achieve that? Did u have to install related MS Office product on client machine? If I do not want to install them on client machine, how should I open EXCEL in separate window other than browser by a click on browser. ur help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Tom Tomasovi #4 / 6	Open Word w/doc from Jscript Harshal: In order to use Excel or Word, it must be installed (or available) to the client machine. File extensions must be associated properly. Once those parameters are met, opening a document using: window.open("http://server/directory/spreadsheet.xls") will open a new instance of the browser with a fully editable spreadsheet loaded. I have also done this successfully using window.open("c:/temp/spreadsheet.xls) where c:\temp is the actual directory of the file. I do not know, however, whether this method would be successful with network drives. HTH, Tom (:-}

Mark Ra #6 / 6	Open Word w/doc from Jscript Elocutus, Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. However, I'm not a JavaScript expert and don't understand what you mean by "platform-native" Java, though I can guess. Do you have any actual examples of this? Any assistance gratefully received.
