I have a fairly ambitious client who would like to offload the management of
intranet content to other individuals in the organization. For the project
to be successful, the data management must be as painless as possible.
Accordingly, the ideal interface for data input is Microsoft Word, as most
users are extremely comfortable working with it.
I would like to be able to create word templates/forms which are dynamically
populated with data from an database, then downloaded to the client PC. Once
the data is updated, I would like the user to upload their files back to the
server, which will in turn update its database and maintain an audit-trail of
all changes.
Can this be done? I'm assuming that if I install Office on the server, it
would be feasible using the office API, but I would love to be able to do
this without office on the server..
any hints / suggestions would be HUGELY appreciated!
Thanks,
Aaron

That's really not such a good idea. See: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=257757
Word is not an ideal interface for data input, but HTML forms are.

Hi,
I have built a web application that will be a very high profile application.
We had tested it, demonstrated it and shown that it all works.
On a dress rehearsal run through, it failed spectacularly. I was so
embarrassed and felt like killing the person that made it fail. However,
when it goes live, IT MUST NOT FAIL.

Hi,
I have an asp.net application which runs from a CD-ROM using Cassini. As
such, it is single user only.
The application connects to an Access database when it is loaded, and
keeps the same connection open all the time (as it's single user, this
shouldn't be a problem).
There is logic in the code to ensure that the connection is

I would like to use the timestamp on files to manage the
currency of support files for my VB windows application.
In this case I would only put the timestamp of the file
in the management database and not the file itself.
To do this I will need to have a File class property for
Create time and date that will let me "set" the Create
time and date of the file to my own chooseing.
The VB file class does not appear to have the ability

I'm designing a new .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to support users who,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
