Open a word document

[uzzie123]

Hi,

How do you create a link on a asp page that opens a word document?

 

[DotNetGnat]

set the response.contenttype to application/msword on top of your asp page...something like this:

<%
Response.ContentType = “application/vnd.ms-word”
%>

-DNG

An HTML anchor link?

Yes, you can just do

Response.Write("<a href='filename.doc'>Click here to open WORD document</a>");

This will open a word document in word. It will ask you though before opening whether you want to open it or save it.
