If I use an html link to open a word document word will open this file, on
the server, with the clients word as the client has a file association setup
for .doc to utilize word. I need to replicate this for a file type that does
not have a file association for word EX: getting test.txt to open with word
instead of notepad on the clients PC. Is there a way I can specify what
application to use to open the file I pass it? Thanks again for your
help.
 
Hi Jason,

I'm not sure I'm following - are you trying to make this possible for ANY pc
or for a specific pc? If it's all pc's, I don't think it can be done; for a
specific pc, on that pc go to file/control panel/tools/folder options etc
and set the default program (Word, in this case) to automatically open .txt.

HTH,

Bernie Yaeger
