Paul, NativeProcess should let you launch the actual application if you know the path to the application.
Would that work for you? -Alex On 6/18/20, 5:40 AM, "Paul Stearns" <pa...@compuace.com.INVALID> wrote: Alex: My goal is to receive the file on the client and open Excel. For the moment i did; // navigateToURL(u, "_blank"); var objDownloadFile:FileReference = new FileReference; objDownloadFile.download(u,strFileName + ".xlsx"); which will allow the user to download the file. It would be nice to give them the option to open it from the application. Paul R. Stearns Advanced Consulting Enterprises, Inc. 15280 NW 79th Ct.

Can you open Excel itself or does it have to be a browser window? -Alex On 6/17/20, 10:53 AM, "Paul Stearns" <pa...@compuace.com.INVALID> wrote: In many places in our applications we use the navigateToURL method to load another browser window with Excel Spreadsheets and other items we generate from code on our website. We invariably use "POST" instead of "GET" for various reasons, some of which cannot be converted to "GET." Where can I find information on how to convert; var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_RootDomain + urlExcelExport); u.data = variables; u.method = "POST"; navigateToURL(u, "_blank"); to something which will work from AIR? Perhaps URLloader? Paul R. Stearns Advanced Consulting Enterprises, Inc. 15280 NW 79th Ct. Suite 250 Miami Lakes, Fl 33016 Voice: (305)623-0360 x107 Fax: (305)623-4588
