Linking to word doc

[csutton]

Any ideas how I can present a link to a user and have it open a Word document residing on a web server? (Basically trying to write a mini-document management system). Right now, when I link to a .DOC file, I can have it open up in IE so they can edit it in a limited fashion or open it up in Word.

Problem is, when they go to save it, it won't let them save it back to the URL address, it only allows a local save. I've tried sending the URL as: FILE://\\uncname\blah.doc but IE complains that that isn't a valid URL.

HELP!!!! Please

Thanks,
Chris

perhaps you should change your FILE to :
object FILE = "\\\\SERVER\\BLAH.DOC";

maybe that could help you ^-^
