Updating MS-Word Templates online using ASP

[Phil240272]

Hi, I have a number of word templates that I need to be able to update online and amend with data from a SQL-Server database and then deliver the amended word document to the clients browser window for printing. Can this be done using just ASP ? any thoughts / pointers would be much appreciated. :confused:

never heard of something like that, don't think it's possible, try searching google for an answer

Well I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible, this can probably done with VBA embedded in your ASP script... but i'd highly recommend against it as you would have way too many constraints.

:confused: Hi Guys, Thanks for your comments, I understand that in theory its possible but not exactly easy unless your a hard core VB / ASP.NET developer with a good understanding of COM. My reason for wanting to use ms-word was to maintain the tight formating of the report. However I've been told ( not sure if correct ) that I can reproduce what I want by just using ASP to produce the report as apparently you can implement page breaks and other formating functions using just asp, not sure if correct but I will test out and report back.

Thanks for your time.

Kind Regards

Phil
