Open an htm document on a different server

[B827]

I have a requirement to open an html format document which is not on my Intranet server using code. The reason for this is we have multiple sites and want people to open the document on a local sever to keep network traffic down.

I can do this using the following link on a page

<a href=&quot;\\Server\Folder\Subfolder\document.htm&quot;>Open window</a>

but I would like to do this automatically using some asp code.

I know where the person is accessing the page from by using Request.ServerVariables(&quot;REMOTE_HOST&quot so it should be easy but I can't find anything to do this.

ANY help, hints or ideas would be very welcome.

Many thanks in advance

Sandy

Hi Sandy, Can you show us the construct of the string in the transfer path? Sounds like something is just not getting concat'd correctly or a value is not coming out right. either that or write the string tot he screen to see if it is valid.

Hello onpnt
I am using the following:

Select Case Trim(Left(Request.ServerVariables(&quot;REMOTE_HOST&quot,11))

to give me nnn.nnn.nnn for the server being used to access the page
then I use

Case &quot;123.456.789&quot;
Response.Redirect &quot;\\Server\Folder\subfolder\page.htm&quot;
Case &quot;987.654.321&quot;
Response.Redirect &quot;\\Server2\Folder\subfolder\page.htm&quot;
.
.
.
End Select
Apart from the server name the location string is the same for each location.

This fails to find the page but using a link on the page

<a href=&quot;\\Server\Folder\Subfolder\document.htm&quot;>Open window</a>

works fine.

Many Thanks

Sandy

try some debug if not already.
Response.Write Trim(Left(Request.ServerVariables(&quot;REMOTE_HOST&quot,11))

Case &quot;123.456.789&quot;
Response.Write &quot;Case Match 123.456.789&quot;
Response.Redirect &quot;\\Server\Folder\subfolder\page.htm&quot;

also, a change to server.transfer may be something to give a shot
