If you're using a browser there is not much you can do as the Upload/Browse
button is really the only way that HTML supports file uploads.
The only other option would be to use some sort of ACtiveX component in the
browser (or use a Fat/Rich client app) to manage the document. If you build
a client you can download the file, provide the Edit ui and then monitor the
file status. As soon as it's closed it could be automatically updated and
uploaded. But this won't be an easy task and of course require messy ActiveX
operation.
Alternatives include using a .Net form downloaded from the Web but you will
need to configure rights...
Not an easy undertaking <g>... I think any way you slice it there will be
configuration problems or extra user steps to get around the (intentional)
security barriers to this problem.

Making waves on the Web

As all my users are intranet-based and have the Office package
installed.
I have decided to stream a server-stored document into a web browser,
so that the user can use Microsoft Word to modify the document. (I
don't care if this opens it in the browser or in word itself out of
the browser, as I have seen it depends on a activeX setting).
Now, my problem is to upload the document in the server without too
much hassle for the user (i.e.: he saves it locally, switches to the
web form, clicks on an upload button...)
How can I do that?
