Open A "NEW" word document

[CFProgrammer]

Hey Gang,
I am trying to create a hyperlink on my site that would automatically open up a "NEW" word document, excel, and access database. I know it is the createObject("word.application&quot method. But I am new to vb and VBA. Any advise is needed.

Vbscript (as written in ASP) is not the same as VB (Standalone programming) , furthermore, that command would only work server-side, which would be pointless, because you could never execute it on the client. Karl

Depending on what you want to do with it, if it were me, I would just save an empty document, upload it to my server, and then put a link to it on the site...

Then, you have basically accomplished the same thing.

Good luck!

You can set the page you send out to a Word Doc using response.contenttype() method. This will show a Word Doc. For more info on creating Word Docs on the fly try out these links (you're more intersted in ASP/MIME Types probably):
