No, thank heavens....
It's a HUGE security risk. The user will have to alter their settings to
allow this.
Think about it. I could send a user to a link with a virus.exe on it and
install it automatically... NOT a good thing.

How to avoid this message from appearing so that it

Next thing is it should open the file using the name

How to avoid this message from appearing so that it
runs the program.
This requires a very low security model - 'non-existant'.
As Curt mentions, allowing this to occur is a potentially huge security
risk, even in a trusted environment.
You may just have to live with the Open/Save/Cancel box.
Next thing is it should open the file using the name
that I pass on. For eg. you want to open an excel
file using excel.
If Excel is installed, and the file associations haven't been altered, Excel
will automatically open .xls files - you don't need to specify this.
Link to the .xls file, and the file will open (depending on the user's
settings). Are you trying to link to excel.exe on your server or something?
That wouldn't work. Excel can be executed without being installed but it
needs 7 or 8 dependent files in the startup directory or %path% even for
that to work. If the person has Excel on his machine, the xls file will
open in it (or in the browser with an execl.exe process or the user will be
prompted to download the file). This is all determined by the user's
settings for the .xls filetype.

no... again this would be a huge security risk and by default it not

Ray,
Sorry if I mislead you. The program I am executing is
an .exe file by another vendor. I want to open
a file using this program. I am able to launch it
but I get the dialog box as I mentioned as a result
it doesn't even store the file name.
Users click on the file name to open so it is will
be inconvenient to remember the path and filename.
Thank you,

Dan,
Just for testing purpose, can you let me know where
should I specify. I want to ensure that it works as
I want. 'cause I want to make sure that the file
name is being passed over to this app.
Note, I am not using excel, it was just and example
I am using an .exe to open up file.
Thanks for your help!

Hi SK,
In Internet Explorer, browse to your site, then click on Tools -> Internet
Options -> Security.
Move the security slider to the lowest option - note the warnings it will
give you.
Click on Apply (Yes if promoted) and then ok - try clicking on your link
again.
If it still doens't work there might be a option under the custom level you
can specify, but TBH I've never actually
done what you're trying.
My instinct would be that if it still doesnt' work with security set to
'Low' then it will never work.
The other possible solution is for you to write your own Browser that your
users use - not sure if that's possible or feasible for you to do,
but then you would have full control over what the application does.
You cannot avoid this dialog.
