Cannot open Word doc using IE

hello all,

I have a small question. I have an application which actually converts
binary data to word document and saves on the server. The next phase of the
project involves opening the word document which I created. But i get the
following error when i tried to open the word document.

"Internet Explorer cannot download file.doc from virtualdirector yname.com

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. please try again later ".
If i try opening the same document using Mozilla or netscape it doesn't
complain. i mean i am able to open the document.

If i have a text file, i am able to open it with IE. Could any one tell me
why its doing such a crazy thing.

Thanking You

How are you attempting to send the .DOC file? What headers are being sent
down with the file?

I have a Word doc already created that I want to open from an asp page. I want it to open in Word and allow the user to modify if necessary. I currently have it opening (using href), but it is opening in IE. I think I should be able to do it with javascript to open word and then call that function on the link to the doc. Can someone give me some pointers? Thanks in advance.

Hi, there, 1. I would like to open a word document in a MDI environment. Every time, a new window outside my MDI poped out and show the word document. Is there a method I can use to specify the showing window? And how to? 2. Is there a way to preview the word document, other than load it fully? 3. How to extract all the characters in Unicode from this word document? Thanks lot in advance! Gary
