Create a MS Word Document on Client with ASP

[ABinBoston]

I would like to have an ASP Contact nmanagement app I am working on open MS Word and populate a document with text from the current Contact Record.

For example, have MS Word open, and say Dear: <namevalue>

I have searched the web, but have not come up with any hgood solutions to date.

Thanks! - AB

I'm not sure how to do this server-side, but it can be achieved by using client-side script. (Under IE anyway)

Set objWordApplication = CreateObject(&quot;Word.Application&quot

You then have the equivalent of the 'Application' object in VBA for MS Word in objWordApplication.

If you've not used VBA before and can't be bothered learning, you can always just record a macro, as they're stored in VBA - it'll give you an overview of how to read/write the document, etc.
