Close the internet explorer which is called msword

Question

Hi,
I made a procedure to call msword.
My client pc works with IE6, win XP and msword 2002
procedure DLBLOB(DocID IN NUMBER, Nom IN VARCHAR2)
IS
     l_lob blob;
     l_amt NUMBER default 4096;
     l_off NUMBER default 1;
     l_raw raw(4096);
BEGIN
     BEGIN
          SELECT document
          INTO l_lob
          FROM t_documents
          WHERE document_id = docId;
          BEGIN
     owa_util.mime_header( 'application/msword',false);
htp.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||Nom||'');
owa_util.http_header_close;
          loop
                    dbms_lob.read( l_lob, l_amt, l_off, l_raw );
     htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(l_raw));
     l_off := l_off+l_amt;
     l_amt := 4096;
     END loop;
     exception
               when no_data_found then NULL;
     END;
     exception
          when no_data_found then
               owa_util.status_line( 404, 'File Not Found' );
     END;
END DLBLOB;
First, a new explorer internet opens with a diakog box which aks me to open, to save, cancel the doc file.
I choose open and my doc opens in word : OK but the internet explorer window doens't dissapear.
Any idea to close this internet explorer window automatiwally?
Regards,
Patrick

Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902
