How to open a word .doc from web page?

[TonyScarpelli]

I am using Visual Basic 2008 and SQL Server 2005.

In a web page, my users are going to enter an equipment ID number.

The program will search a table and come up with the name of a Word document from the table.

For example:
Tag #: 12345 | Pm123.doc

The program will then display the document, or the document name will somehow have to become a link to display the document.

Do I need code behind to do this?

Is this possible to do?

Thanks.

Sure. You will need code to do this. You'll have to use javascript on a button or link to open the word doc since you need it to run on the client. The user will need word on their computer.

I don't have an example right now, but I can get one tomorrow.
