[thelist] wmv link not calling player

[JR]

OOPs!!!

It's not "response.type"!!!

Here is the correct syntax with a little extra:
---------------------------------------------------
Response.ContentType = "application/YOURTYPEHERE"
'check microsoft or something for types

Dim sPhysicalPath
sPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(sVirtualPath)

Dim objFSO, objFile, objFileTextStream
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO =
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(sPhysicalPath)
Set objFileTextStream =
objFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading)

Dim sLine
Do While objFileTextStream.AtEndOfStream <> TRUE
	sLine = objFileTextStream.ReadLine
	Response.Write sLine & vbCrLf
Loop

objFileTextStream.Close
-----------------------------------------------------
