HELP ME!!!!!! I'm currently building an intranet and asp's are quite new 

to me. I'm trying to create a link to a certain file to be run by a 

certain application (the path of which is the same on all the users 

machines). The application software I'm linking to is also password 

protected. Can anyone help me????? Is there a 'run' command????

I'm linking to a mail-merge word document which is opened by a piece of 

software called 'Scribe'. This is a MIS application and requires a 

username and password, so creating a standard href link doesn't work. The 

line of code i want to change into .asp code is a lttle like this:



run(C:\scribe.exe username password -R report01.doc -E)



Does this help you????
