Hi!
It was just an example, but say Yes. Does it make a difference?
Best regards

Is c:\test.doc a file on the local user's machine or the server?

Hi again!
I want the logged-in user to able to open a word-file (or an Excel-file
or
whatever) and then Push Save-Icon and make sure that changes are actually
made.
Example:
John opens up file c:\test.doc. He writes "Ugly cow" in it and pushes the
save-icon. Ugly Cow is now stored in file c:\test.doc. Working with
COM-objects is the only solution I have found!?
Normally If John opens up c:\test.doc Internet Explorer (or whatever
browser) saves the file temporarily in some temp-folder (don't know exact
location), lets say c:\temp\sdifiuweoriu2734872.tmp. When John pushes
Save-icon he saves the new information TO the temporarily stored file IF
he
doesn't use Save AS...
Please come with suggestions :-)
Best regards
