using wscript.shell

[kurtmo5]

This is what I have but it still opens in a maximized view. It is almost as if the statement is terminated after the file name is opened. This is an external js that I am calling from an asp page.

Sub openDocument(file)
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.Run Chr(34) & file & Chr(34), 2, true
End Sub

1) What is a typical value for file
2) Try:
oShell.Run Chr(34) & file & Chr(34), 0, true

Change it so that it uses a UNC path instead of a file URL
Sub openDocument(file)
file = Replace(file, "file:", "")
file = Replace(file, "/", "\")
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.Run Chr(34) & file & Chr(34), 2, true
End Sub
