Open Word from ASP

[tlmm]

I have a Word doc already created that I want to open from an asp page. I want it to open in Word and allow the user to modify if necessary. I currently have it opening (using href), but it is opening in IE. I think I should be able to do it with javascript to open word and then call that function on the link to the doc. Can someone give me some pointers?

I understand that when the doc opens in IE, I still have some of the functionality of Word, but my document is done through a mail merge with a database to create labels. When it opens, I can modify the text on the first page, but I don't know how to get to the rest of the records b/c the mail merge functionality is not available. This is why I would like to open the doc in Word itself.

Thanks in advance.

I think that a JavaScript that would execute a program (MSWord) on a user's PC would be classified as malicious and therefore blocked.

I may be wrong.
