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.URLEncod e(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

Hi,Right now what do you see on the browser when you browse this page and how does that behave when you simple do a left click?

Cheers!

When I hover over the link, the cursor turns to a hand and I see the link displayed in the lower left corner of IE, across the bottom.

A simple left click does nothing.

I believe that the code is correctly creating the link, because I can copy and paste into a browser and it works.

Not sure what you are missing. But copy/paste of link into browser is similar to clicking the link and that should work if the link is created correctly, as you say.

I guess we are stuck.

By the way, when I cut and paste the page into Front Page, the links work fine
