1. This should work (notice quotes around var) : <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="whatever" VALUE="<?php echo $var; ?>"> This is incorrect (it only shows the first word) : <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="whatever" VALUE=<?php echo $var; ?>>
2. not sure about the second question but have you tried removing the target, it seems to me that a target might not be necessary since the link should already be opening an application that is associated with that file type.

Also I have an anchor tag that is a link to open an Access db. For some reason it opens 2 copies instead of one. i have tried the following: <a href="..\foldername\microsoft_sucks.mde" target="_blank">Launch App</a> and <a href="file://server/path/ms_sucks.mde" target="_blank">Launch App</a> but it seems to want to open two copies anyhow, anyone seen this before?
