In Dreamweaver, is it possible to make a hyperlink point to a document and open that document in the original application - WITHOUT having the browser shell.
The reason I am trying to do this is so that the destination document can open up and run vba in the background. The browser window seems to interfere with this process.
I have tried using _top, _parent, _self, _blank but this doesn't seem to work.
Many thanks for your help in advance

Good question, i think I tackled that one a year or so ago but I just can't find my old pages to see how it was scripted.
I would recommend the DW forum on Macromedia's site, it is an EXCELLENT resource and the people are usually pretty good at answering such isues, if not Macromedia's team will.
I would assume it is an Action Scripting or Generator issue.
I managed to find a workaround in the end - by using the BrowserFlags entry in the registry. It had to be set to a value of 9 on the excel.sheet.5 subkey; and 8 on other Excel.sheet keys.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
