First of all, excuse me if I sound like a fool, I am just getting started at this.

I have an .asp page which is displays a list of the contents of a windows folder. My goal is to be able to click on file name and open it up for viewing, like any other href link.

the code is currently

<tr>
<td class="TableHeader">Client Files</td>
</tr>

<%
If ClientFolderExists Then
%>
<tr>
<td class="Label">Folder: <a href="<%=ClientFolders & ClientFolder%>"> <%=ClientFolder%></a></td>
</tr>
<%
End If
%>
<tr>
<td>
<iframe height=300 frameborder=no src="ClientFiles.asp?FolderName=<%=Server.URLEncode(ClientFolders & ClientFolder)%>"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>

As the code is now, I can right click on the link, copy the link and paste it into a browser and it will open up the file. However, I want simply to be able to click on the link to open up the file.

here is a sample link which the code creates

file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/matis/ClientFolders/Druse,%20III,%20Frank-126/ticket%20and%20agreement.tif

Do you want people outside of your computer to be able to link to these files? So far, the link you are giving is to your computer's C drive.

Otherwise, your code should work. What happens when you just click the link now?

Check out this control: http://www.particlesoftware.com/en/

You might find it helpful in rendering IE completely insecure, yet highly functional on an Intranet. ;)

1) Thanks, I will check it out. I am running intranet, so the files are only for me, so the c: drive is appropriate.

2) When I click on the link, nothing happens.
