By doing,

Dim myproc As System.Diagnostics.Process
myproc = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
myproc.Start("winword")

from an ASPX page, this causes the process to run on the server, not the client thus why it does not work. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to open a Word doc from an ASPX page? (I've done this before but it scoped out because of all the security issues it had). If you give me more information, I can help you with an answer. ~javier lozano (blog || email)
