I know that you can open a file into your browser using something like file://MyServer/MyFolder/Myfile.doc but if I try the following code Dim loc As String loc = "file://MyServer/MyFolder/Myfile.doc" loc = loc.Replace(" ", "%20") Response.redirect(loc)and click the button that calls this. Nothing happens. Anyone got any clues? I bet it's something dead simple, I just don't know what.Many thanks in advancesteveAlright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer. |

| I bet it's a security thing. I don't think your website can redirect a user to a local file. IE, let's redirect a user to myvirus.exe so that it automatically executes and 0wnr0z their box.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.
