Executing MS Word Document from ASP

[tagid]

Is there a command to initiate a MS Word session when a user clicks on a .doc file on a webpage?

I remember seeing the syntax for this, but I can't find it. If it can't be done from ASP could it be done from javascript?

Thanks, Joe

This should happen automatically (certainly with IE5+). Any office document (excel, powerpoint etc..) should open with the relevant application. --James

Here are the items you need, I included excel just in case anyone wants that too.

-- For Excel --
response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

-- For Word --
response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"

This forces the browser into the application even if its not a word document.
