Hi Paul,
You must understand that a web server doesn't serve files. It serves COPIES
of files. So, you can't open a file from the web server, edit it on the
client, and then save it back to the server. What you need to do is to give
the client a copy of the file, allow them to edit the copy in Word, and then
upload it to the server. This is tricky, as it will require some client-side
object(s) to achieve. You might want to take a look at how Sharepoint Portal
Server does it. Your solution will have to lie along similar lines.

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have word-docs saved in a SQL
Server
database on my web-server. I would like to either stream this to a
web-form
directly or open it from a temporary file on the server for the client to
edit. Then once the client has finished editing the document, I want the
results to be sent back to the server.
Is this possible? And what would the best method be of achieving this?
Kind Regards,
Paul Louth.
