Has anyone tried this..need input

[Guest]

Okay here is the situation. We are introducing a new pilot program which includes office xp. We would like only registered people to have access to this package. They authenticate to a server and a web page pops up (within PWB) with the choices of either word powerpoit or excel. But when we click on the hyperlink it asks us to download the file or open form current location. Is there anyway to bypass this?? and just click on the link and it will open word excel etc..

You can use the PWB v2.05 Dynamic External Java Commands to open applications. See the following in the INI file.

[Java]
...
JavaExecute=
...

This is detailed in the PWBv2.rtf file, and the following links.

I use a program called Intralaunch, it is an ActiveX control that allows you to run an executable to run from a web page.

Thanks

But if you are already using PWB, you may as well use what PWB has built in.

If you have the following in your INI file.

[Java]
...
JavaExecute= RunApp
...

This line in a webpage will start Notepad.

function OnClickExecute()
{
window.external.RunApp( 'NotePad.exe' )
}

<form>
<input type='button' name='execute' value='Execute command( "window.external.PWBExecute(...)" )' onClick='OnClickExecute()'>
</form>
