Hi
I have this code:
FileDisplay(sDescarga,"application/unknown",sDescarga)
With this I can download and open my file when I'm on testing mode. But if I compile and do it from a server, it download the file but it cannot open the file.
I try it with this:
ShellExecute(CompleteDir(fWebDir())+sDescarga)
I tought it coulf work but no it doesn't
also all of this code are on browser, this browser have the name and extension of my files to download, when I download the file I close the tab.
any idea? Thanks!.

Hi François C.
yeah I thought about that it will open on the server, I want it to be open on the client.

all I mean it's to download the file from the server and then it open to the user (client)
the part to download it works now I want to open the file from code but on the computer of the user, the file it's always on download files.
thanks for the reply!

Ok, if you want it to open automatically when download, you need to specify the MIME type of document :
FileDisplay(sDescarga,"application/unknown",sDescarga) can be replaced by (for PDF documents)
FileDisplay(sDescarga,"application/x-pdf",sDescarga) Message modified, November, 14 2018 - 2:56 PM |

Hi François C.
Oh I see but if I want to open xls it will be something like:
FileDisplay(sDescarga,"application/x-xls",sDescarga)
or is it different?
I search a little but I'm not sure: https://help.windev.com/en-US/…

Hi I try this code:
FileDisplay(sDescarga,"application/x-pdf",sDescarga)
it doesn't open the file, it only download it. also this code is in another page, I open this page in another tab of the browser then when it's on the web user side, then I close the tab, I'm not sure if this could affect the process to open it.

The opening of documents is a setting under your webbrowser. You cannot FORCE the website to open a document |

The 3rd parameter is just to rename the file for the client, nothing more. |

just read the help:
: Optional character string
Name of file to save if the Web user wants to download the file onto his computer. If this parameter is specified, the file download is automatically proposed.
look at the last sentence |

That means the file will show up for the user? or it only show to where to save the file on the client side?
thanks for all of the replys
