ASP

Does anyone here have much experience in ASP?

I have some modules that I would like to edit for my company intranet. At the moment I have a page which lists documents. To the right of the document name, there is a zoom icon. Once you click on this it gives more details of the document. I would like to change this so that when you click the icon it opens the document in either Word, Excel or Acrobat.

Could someone please give me some advice.

/raises hand..

I am still having to support some ASP-based intranet apps (much against my will

), let me know what you need?

Ok cheers. Well as mentioned, I've downloaded a document management module that I would like to convert. It's very good, but at the moment there are a series of icons next to the file. None of these open the document, just give you details about it.

What I want to do is to be able to click an icon or the document itself and have it open in it's respective program, i.e Word or Acrobat.

Is this possible?

Just create a link to where the document is on the webserver. The browser will determine what sort of document it is and use the most appropriate program.

Sorry for the delay.

Yes I was going to do that, manually add the files and then hyperlink each one direct to it. System has an upload and search feature as the files are added to the database though.

Not sure how I can reference the database id number. Is this possible?
