Webbrowser control in Vista with Office 2007

Hi,

I have a webbrowser control embedded in a winform (vs2005) and use it
for previewing documents.

The form works perfectly in XP with office 2003

When using the same form in Vista with office 2007 the document opens
Word/excel etc and doesn´t allow the preview within the webbrowser
control.

I use the wb.Navigate(doc name,"_self") method to fetch the documents.

Also tried draggin and dropping in Vista and this also fails to work.

Any ideas how I could get this working or if I need to update the app
to WPF/Net 3.0

Thanks in advance

Due to an earlier posting I read in this newsgroup regarding Office 2007 beta, I downloaded it. After I DL'd it, I got an invitation from MS to get WinVista. I am now wondering if, since both are betas, it is best to buy a new computer? My current computer setup is a Pentium 4, 1 gig memory, 2.66 ghz, 60-80 gig disk drive. MS's requirements for a WinVista computer is A modern processor (800mz)

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...

Overview: 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,...
