sharepoint - Is possible to open a file in the client from a web page? -


i know, stupid questiom but, customer stupid two.

i need provide link in sharepoint web page open microsoft outlook , other link open .exe file (the sap client).

is there magic way this? silverlight, activex, js, applets, etc, idea welcome.

you make browser open external program 1 of 2 methods: 1. linking special url, set handled external program 2. linking url extension registered opened external program.

most notable example of #1 'mailto' protocol. example mailto:someone@somewhere.com open default mail program, in editing mode recipient. notable example 'itms' protocol, open itunes (try: itms://url.in.apple.com).

you can point resource registered example. example, url ends *.torrent open utorrent or whatever torrent handler have on machine (for example: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent download ubuntu canonical web site).

i'm not familiar sap. if there canonical file extension sap clients - can have resource on web site. open outlook, can use mailto protocol.

on different route, can of course implement (and ... deploy) activex, can anything, including create whatever processes want.
