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(docname,"_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
