Is it possible to open a program, like Microsoft Word, from within an ASP
page? How?

The program I am wanting to open is actually a CRM program that I can send
an event ID and it would open that event.
 
Anything using ASP.Net is run on the server. So If you could open the
CRM program and pass it an event ID, it would actually open that event
on the server, not the client computer.

The only way you might be able to do something like this is to write
an ActiveX control. I don't know if you can do them in .NET This
might be a viable solution if you are running this over an intranet.
If it is a public website, this wouldn't be a good idea.

Hope this helps,

Neil
