I'm now getting into extending functionality of TW5 using Javascript as an action for buttons to meet my needs. My TW5 products are used offline (not on the Internet) where I distribute a .exe file.
My first challenge is to Open a Word Document on the hard drive, so my users can pull up a history document about the tour I'm presenting. They can even modify the document too. So... I need to open up a local file in Word that exists in the same or a subdirectory to the mytour.exe I've created. I use the following Javascript:
function OpenWordDoc(){
var w = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
var obj;
if (w!=null)
{
w.Visible=true;
obj=w.Documents.Open("test.doc");
}
}
OpenWordDoc()
This attempt to open the document, but defaults to look in the C:\windows\system32\ directory, not the directory that I launched the mytour.exe file.
Any idea how I can get the default path to be the path I launched mytour.exe from? Does EP need to reprogram something?
I am running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Thanks,
Jerry
