And why would you want to do that? Not specifying a specific scenario lends no credit to your request. Just ask "how do I get root access through FlashCONNECT", if you want to try to hack FC servers. :P Hopefully, you understand my comments here and won't take it as someone responding that is "bent out of shape". <g> *nudge Bruce* Glen |

Probably the most of you would think this is a very simple thing. I need to execute a local program (.exe) launching it through FlashConnect. Is it possible ? Thanks, Alberto |

That's a little more complicated than just launching an executable. It requires one of two methods. You can't just "execute" Word from a browser or a user session in D3. You have to do one of the following: 1) Use a MIME content-type (application/ms-word) to have the browser download the document to the user and then launch the default application for that document type. I don't recommend dumping the document through FlashCONNECT. I typically generate the document, upload it through an automated FTP process(simple to do), and then direct the browser to the file via the HTTP "Location: " header. This saves a lot of time since you don't have to pass a 2MB document through the FC service and then passing it to the browser across an unknown connection speed. Deliverying it via the web server directly is tons faster, especially if you have mod-gzip installed on an Apache box and it is configured to compress .doc files. Don't ever try to use mod-gzip on pre-compressed files like PDF and JPEG though, they will get corrupted. I save ~1/2-2/3 bandwidth usage with mod_gzip set to compress html, text, and CGI output. Thus, one of the reasons isn't not good to use CGI to dump unknown binary content.  2) Use Accuterm or some other terminal emulator to transfer the file to the user's PC and then launch the document with the dos command "start filename>". That will launch the default handler for the filename/extension specified. If the file extension is .doc, then Wordpad or Word will typically load the document specified. If you want more info or methods let me know. Glen "Alberto" <info_nospam (AT) tca (DOT) it> wrote in message news:dr33e8$boe$1 (AT) newsread (DOT) albacom.net... Probably I havn't been clear enough, sorry. I need to read data from the D3 server and merge them into a Word document and launch Word locally without exiting the web page.
