Hi Brian,

I am doing exactly the same thing while trying to open a file from my local hdd.

I have

In my body, and corresponding javascript function is:

function OpenSpecifiedFile() {
var filename = “file:///c:/procedure.txt” ;
window.open(filename,”abcd”,”"); //I added third “” after I saw this blog
}

I have currently hardcoded the filename although I can very well pick it up from the filectrl.

My page is hosted on default .net webserver packaged with VS2005.

Do I need to change the security zone in my IE 6?
