Hi, Its great that you want to become a fish in the pond of programming shawrks. Go and start with Language 'C'. Best wishes.

:)The following code will hopefully do what u want: function openWordDocument() { specificFolder="c:\\NewFolder"; var fso; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); if(fso.FileExists(specificFolder+"\\"+f1.t1.value)) { document.URL=specificFolder+"\\"+f1.t1.value; } else { alert("File does not exist"); } }
