Is this possible?

G

Glenn

Before I spend hours trying to figure out how to do this, can someone please
tell me if it is possible?

I know that I can set up a form that when submitted will upload the results
of the form into a database as well as upload a file into a given location.

I know that I can create an asp that is linked to the database to show the
information that is in the databae, including what was just submitted from
the form.

My question is - is there a way on that ASP to create a hyperlink that will
open the document (a PDF file) that was uploaded as part of the form
submission?

Thanks in advance.
Glenn

Create a link to the document yes, open it no.

You should be able to open the doc with javascript, eg
<%
strLink = ' the path to the doc just uploaded
response.write "<script>window.open('" & strLink & "');</script>"
%>

This would open the pdf in a new window.

Jon,

I would think that would be a security issue, since it isn't user initiated under SP2.

I'm a bit confused. What would the link do, if it doesn't open the document
when you click on it?

Creating a normal hyperlinks would work, since the user would have to click it.

You are correct. IE 6 with SP2 would block such a pop-up.

Re: Is this possible?Okay, I guess I didn't ask my original question correctly.

Basically I want one of my users to be able to add content to our website by filling out an online form and uploading an associated file.

The user in the outside world could then go to our website, click on the link to the ASP page that has the database results, see the information, click on the associated PDF file and open it.

I'm guessing that is possible based upon the responses I have received. If I am wrong, could someone please let me know?

Thanks for your help.
