Newbe at Java script, can someone help me with this??????
I am trying to open a MSWord document template (as a new document) using a Java script in a local HTML page on my office file server. The problem is: 1.) a warning box about an "ActiveX control", 2.)Word will execute but minimized, 3.)Template will open but it is for editing the template, not as a new "Document".
This is the script that WILL open the template name passed in the 'strFile' var, ie. startWord("suppie.dot");

function startWord(strFile)
{
var myApp = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application")
var SubDirectory = "//tpd-cr1/tpdapps/forms/"
if (myApp != null)
{
myApp.Visible = true;
myApp.Documents.Open(SubDirectory + strFile)
}
}
Environment; Windows 95, IExplore 5.5, Office 97.
This is the second time I tried this forum with no luck...
