Word in IE - Newby Question

[Fedup]

Hi,

When I open Word or any other Office App from a site on the Net, the
document (worksheet etc) opens within my browser, which is fine

I am writing an app which is Web based and I want the same
functionality (Word etc opening in my browser) in my own web app

Can someone please help and tell me how to do this

TIA
Goog

If the application is web based you just have to point to the URL of the
Word Doc and it will open in the browser.

i.e. http://somesite.com/pathToDocOnServer/Docname.doc

To try this locally

i.e. file://C:/pathtoWordDoc/Docname.doc

Keep in mind that since it is the web, that Case of the filename may
matter. Also, spaces in the file name can cause trouble.

One last thing, The document has to be accessible from the Web Server
for a Web Enabled Application. If only available from the workstation,
then others won't be able to see it.

Hope this helps...
