Open a Word Document

[wivster]

How can I open and print a MS Word document stored on a shared location (which the user has access to) from Javascript at the click of a button. The user will have MS Word on their machine.

Thankx :)

I believe (but check it out) that if you have a simple link - e.g. <a href="somefile.doc"></a> to a Word document called somefile.doc on your server then when you click on it Word will launch automatically - assuming it is on your PC.

hope this helps
