I would suggest not doing it with word, or alternatively, not doing it with ASP. Yes, it is quite possible to do this all with ASP, but it is not a simple project, it is a fully dedicated web app.

I would suggest Zoho Office as a very adaptable web-based alternative. Most of the applications are free and run from the web (no download) and can import MSOffice-made files without a hitch. They even include file-sharing capabilities. Does this sound like something you could use?

Here comes another small question from me :-) I am curious as to how I should approach this issue. I would just want to parse simple text and maybe perhaps tables in the future. Would I have to save the word file and open it in a text editor? That would kind of....suck... Has anyone else tackled this issue? Thanks,

I have set up a mail merge document in Word 2003 which gets its data from my Access 2000 database. I want to set up a button on a form that: 1. runs the query to provide the dat for the merge document in Word; 2. opens the document and runs the merge process for the new data. I have managed to write the code to perform step 1 ok, but I'm having trouble with step 2. It opens the word document fine but does not perform the mail merge of...

I plan to use the following code behind an Access form button: Dim Wordobj as Word.Application Set Wordobj = CreateObject("Word.Application") Wordobj.Documents.Open Mdocument Wordobj.Visible = True The user will then edit the document and close Word when finished. They'll return to the Access form and continue in Access.

Hi, Being fairly new to .NET I am looking for a way to call MS Word from an event on a webform, and after the user is finished save that created document to an SQL Server database. Has anyone done this? Does it seem possible? I followed the instructions from a sample on the Microsoft knowledge base but it only seems to work when creating a VB.NET Windows .EXE, not an VB.NET ASP app.

I have been banging my head trying to find a way either in classic asp or asp dot net to get a word document to open in word, and not use the browser. I have tried (in classic asp): Response.ContentType = "application/ms-word" Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename='\\Server\SomeDirectory\SomeDoc.doc'" too no avail. The documents are on a network drive. Do I have to create a virtual drive in IIS and refer...

I am trying to write a code for a button click event. When the button is clicked, it is supposed to bring up an open file dialog box to allow the user to select the document they which to open. That word doucment will then be opened and displayed in MS Word. The code I have below doesn't quite work the way I expected it to. First, VB is complaining that the variable readOnly is not declared. How can that be when it is declared as Dim...

I have a Word 2003 mail merge main document (form letter) that is linked to another Word document data source for the mail merge. If I open this doc using the Word GUI, it first asks me to confirm that I want to run a query to select the data from the data source file, then it opens the form letter fine. I can preview the merged records and complete a merge to a new document. I have a VB 2006 project (.net framework 2.0) which opens the...

I've designed a knowledge base web app which holds files like word docs, powerpoint presentations etc. When a user clicks on a link to a file, the file is opened (say in Word) but the opened file is a temporary file downloaded from the intranet. As a result, when a user edits and saves a document, these changes are not applied to the file on the network. I would like users to simply be able to open a document, make changes and then click...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
