Hi,

My system requires that I automatically open the resume I have downloaded to my OS. Using Webutil_file_transfer.db_to_client I am able to download the file to the sample.doc file existing in D:\ORACLE_FILES folder but I want to automatically open this file once the download is over.

I tried using Client_Get_File_name and DDE components(below) but nothing worked. I can see something blink (as if it opened and closed) but it does not work

Quote:
appl_name := 'D:\ORACLE_FILES\SAMPLE.DOC';
:global.application_id := dde.app_begin(appl_name, dde.app_mode_normal);


Any other way to accomplish this?

Try using the 'host' and 'client_host' commands.

David

PS Also 'web.show_document'.

sorry forgot to mention...tried all those as well but did not work

CLIENT_HOST('D:\ORACLE_FILES\SAMPLE.DOC');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('D:\ORACLE_FILES\SAMPLE.doc','_blank')

I think maybe the first parameter in the SHOW_DOCUMENT could be wrong..please guide me if it is

try this

CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler D:\ORACLE_FILES\SAMPLE.DOC'



Finally you got the webutil working... Smile
