Writing to MSWord
-
Hey all, This may be a stupid question but is it possible to write to an existing MSword document before you open it? I am currently trying to automate word to open via the webserver and ASP.NET but because of the security risks involved and the stability of that route, Im hoping I can write to word before opening it. Then being able to use a link to open the file readonly with the changes made. Is this possible? I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time, Dave

Opening MSword on your server is not a good idea. What I have done is to use SQL Reporting Services or Crstal Reports and export them to a word document. That was always the easiest solution for me.

Forgive my ignorance, but if a word file that already exists and I just want to add a couple things to the top of the page from a session variable, I can pull up a word document in crystal edit it and export it as a word doc? I REALLY appreciate your idea/help! Dave
