Open MSWord document

[staleb]

Hi
I dont now if this is the right forum to ask this question, but here I go.

I want to open a MSWord document on the clients PC/MSWord, the solution I use now is this:
<script language=vbscript runat=Server>
<!--
sub OpenDoc(strLocation)
set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = true
objWord.Documents.Open strLocation
end sub

//-->
</script>

the document is located on a file server, which accesed thrugh a Virtual Directory (IIS 5.0) on the web-server
This solution works to some degree, but when the document is opened ists writeprotected (The VD has full read/write access)
This mean that I cant store any changes I make back to the document on the server.

After intensive searching on Microsofts pages I foun theese to articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838028/en-us

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;245359

They sugest that I should use aboulut adressing: URL =

http://server/..../test.doc

So that I trigger a service MSDAIPP

sub OpenWord(strLocation)
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "FP662.DOC", "URL =

http://myserver/FILER/KSP/2005/",,,,

end sub

I cant seem to get this working.
Has anyone used this, or does anyone have a soultion??
