I have a simple problem. I need to test to see if WORD is already open on a client machine. Is this possible using Javascript?

Many thanks

Sandy

It shouldn't, as it vould violate the principle that says that scripts can't access local resorces at local machine.

Cheers,

It's not possible using javascript without employing some third party ActiveX control (which will only work for IE Windows).
