automatically open power point file when sent from web server

[Charlie]

With excel, i can send the content_type, and content_disposition header followed by the contents of the file itself, and have the excel application automatically open and present the contents of the file to the user on the client pc without a security warning window first coming up and asking the user to open or save file. Would like to do the same thing with powerpoint files and have them open up in powerpoint editor not in powerpoint viewer.

Howdy Charlie,

Check this site:
Control how the browser opens PowerPoint files
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00189.htm

If you find a way to duplicate what you're doing with the
excel files, please do let us know! It would be most
useful for a lot of folks!

Thanks,
Glenna

Thanks for the try. Didn't work on method 1. I'll try method 2 - editing the registry.
