Open work doc on client with jscript

[sabev]

I need to open word, excel and .jpgs on the client with some jscript (or anything that would work). This is VB ASP.NET.

The files I want to open are not on the client or server, but I can UNC to them or map the server.

Thanks

...This is VB ASP.NET

Well, this is the Javascript forum. Good luck!

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Well it is a javascript question.

I'm trying this -

function openFile(){
var excel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
}

I get this error -
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Automation server can't create object.

Thanks Greg, that's just what I did and it works great.

Now, I need something to open .jpgs.
