Hollystyles,
Thanks, code sounds good. But displaying error at IE. Below is the output:

Did you use the later code I posted? after davidcairns' post in which I added these two lines


I was getting the same result as you on my PC until I added those two lines, also I had to close down and restart IE so it didn't use the local cache (you know temporary internet files) and It works fine on my PC now.

Dear Holystyle,
Now I got. It is working properly. Thanks in advance. Now i'm vacating from this thread.
Thanking you,

Hi,
Try this code: Make changes to file name and location

<% @Language=VBScript %>
<%
Option Explicit
Dim fileName, filePath, contentType, objStream
fileName = "anish.doc"
filePath = "C:\" & fileName
contentType = "application/msword"
Response.Buffer = true
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = contentType
'Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
'issue for IE no-store doesn't work either
Response.Addheader "ContentType", contentType
Response.Addheader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" & fileName
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")objStream.Open
objStream.Type = 1
objStream.LoadFromFile filePath
response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
objStream.Close
Response.Flush
Response.End
%>

This code had already submitted by somebody. I hope this would help to rectify your problem. try this code and send feedback to this thread.

it works but it isn't what i meant .
This code "asks" me to download or save the file like a normal link 4 the download does, but it isn't what i want.
I want a code that allows me to view a document into the browser and not a code like urs that i have to download before i can view it.
can u help me out??thanx so much

2 things to note here

1. If you want to use MS Word integrated into the browser it will still depend to some extent on the users client settings, ie whether word is allowed to integrate with IE, Firefow, Opera or whatever they have. Even if you say inline on the disposition that doesn't mean the client is required to treat it that way.

2. If you actually want to display the contents in an HTML page then you may have to convert the word document to HTML or Text

i've just tried point 2 but the text format and the alignment of the columns aren't like in the original document. moreover, i haven't understood what u meant in point 1! could u explain it again, please????thanx so much!

furianera,

Please submit the full procedure that you have done in this business. I hope you don't have MSOffice installed on your computer. Go to internet explorer, click tools menu and internet option. Then go to Advanced Tab and click Reset Advanced settings.
------------------------------------------
1. You have to save the below mentioned code with the extension as .asp.
You have to edit the location specified in tht code, with your document name, and location.
And disposed it in your inetpub/wwwroot/ folder.
Type http://localhost/'filename.asp' at the address bar and press enter.

Because it is functioning properly in my computer.
------------------------------------------
2. Or if you want to make it as a text format, open the said document thorugh MS word, click file menu and select Save As Web page. That is all. And run it (Double click).

Good Luck

HelloDear well in my laptop i've installed openoffice, and i have reset all the advanced options of IE.
i've just done all the things that u mean in the point 1, run the .asp file in my ie but my browser still asks me the download of the file and it doesn't open the document directly in the browser. so i don't understand your point.
Point 2:
i've just done also this way, but the results isn't good so i want the document (.doc) to be opened into the browser.
Today i tried this code:
but still works like a download..
i apologise for all the drawbacks
