I am designing an ASP page that will allow staff to view a word document from a remote server through a textarea form element on the page. Also I want them to be able to modify this document too. This was supposed to be my function in Javascript:

function loadworddoc(){
var jdoc = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application","\\sr-data1"); // creates the word object
jdoc.Visible=true; // does display Word window
jdoc.Documents.Open("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ci resources\_docs\resourc guide.doc"); // specify
jdoc.quit(0); // quit word (very important or you'll quickly chew up memory!)
}

I was wondering how to do this through ASP, since this didn't work.

microsoft have got a product call sharepoint

I think that let you do what you want.

.Open("file:///C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ci") works for me

although I open the file in a new window using window.open

although if this word document is in the wwwroot folder... I am pretty certain you don't need the c:\inetpub\wwwroot...as it looks like your document is in your root folder
