Running Client App From ASP Web Page

Can you run an client application (i.e. Excel) from an ASP web page? I want
to open an Excel document that is stored on the network in the Excel App (not
in browser window) allow the user to make changes to the file and then save
the file back to the network. If this is possible how do I do it?

Thanks!

You can't. This requires a client-side component. Would you want any
old web site opening and running programs on your system?

Thanks. That is kind of what I thought but sometimes people do not want to
believe their own people
