Automating Office documents running inside a frame within IExplorer

[Simon Pettman]

I am hoping to get hints/tip/suggestions on how I can do some of the following:-

· Have say a Word document displayed in a frame of the browser (IE5.5), where there are multiple frames (only one containing a document), but have the menu bar in IE be relevant to the word document.

· Catch the event triggered by the user clicking Save or New… and carry out some additional marshalling (i.e the client requested destination of the file needs to be stored in a data base server side.)

· Prevent multiple clients editing and saving a document at the same time.

I appreciate that this question is very vague, I do try to be quite specific usually on this board. However, I am just starting this and any direction will be most gratefully appreciated. I can use ASP, HTML, ATL, VB, COM, ActiveX, VBScript, Jscript, MFC.

when the brower shows the doc document, that document is on client. So the client has a copy of document!

Only the client can catch the event... with a word macro, that can notify server with a HTTP request...
