<P>Yeah Mike that would be much appreciated. I was looking @ your e-mail address and wondered by chance of work on the NAVSTA
naval base in norfolk thats where I'm located. Im not government but contract for them???<BR><BR>For the data merging
information I thank you for that. The previous dev already set up a winword form. From asp how do you get that document to be
opened. I tried putting in the filename but it would open up the name&nbsp; of the asp file with the doc extension. Not sure
will keep trying until I get it. Any information is great!!!!<BR>Jonathan D. M<BR><BR></P>From: "Schelling,

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Since this morning I found out that when MS-Word 97 is called the .doc file 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;doesn't display properly. I'm doing a government form and everything is 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;layed out in a table. When it displays in 97 the table columns are 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;compressed together. You can drag them out with in MS-Word 97, but what a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;drag. :-) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Anyway, it works fine if with MS-Word 2000. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;In case you are interested I have some information about going from ASP to a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;PDF file.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;It just so happens that I had to learn about this yesterday. To build a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;MS-Word document from an ASP file use: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Response.ContentType = "application/msword" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;If you want the resulting document to come up in MS-Word instead of the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;browser include this: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=Name.doc" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;The above is explained at 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;http://www.infinetsoftware.com/content/officedocuments.asp 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;There's an example at 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;http://www.aspalliance.com/steven.swafford/articles/word_doc.asp

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Can anyone out there point me in the right direction of getting information 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

into a word doc format

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Does anyone know the equivalent of this cold fusion tag in asp ???

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;From: "Jonathan Marshall" <JDMARSH2G@H...>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Subject: [asp_web_howto] Help Help "Merging Data From ASP/ACCESS/WINWORD" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: Can anyone out there point me in the right direction of 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: getting information from the user &gt;&gt;&gt; entered into a database 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: &gt;&gt;&gt; then into a word doc format to be printed out?? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;You create a HTML form. You post the form to an ASP page. You get the values 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;of the HTML form elements via the Request.Form() collection, or the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Request.QueryString() collection if you use method="Get" for your form. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;You then use ADO to put the data into a database. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;If you want to dynamically create a Word document, you need to use Office 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Automation - instantiate an MS Word object on the server and put the data 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;you want in, then save the Word document. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;There are numerous links that you can find at www.google.com for handling 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;all these things. If you get stuck at a particular point, please feel free 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to post again. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: Does anyone know the equivalent of this cold fusion tag in asp ??? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: <CFCONTENT type='application/msword"' DIV
<>&gt;file="D:\users\share\data_mirror\tecr_form.doc"&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;: I would like to emulate the same function as this just not sure how any 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;information would be greatly appreciated. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;You need to set the ContentType property of the Response object 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; -or- 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Directly add the appropriate HTTP header 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Response.ContentType = "application/msword" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; -or- 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Response.AddHeader "contenttype", "application/msword" 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;You'll need to use the Response.BinaryWrite() method to stream the data to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the client. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Cheers 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Ken

It just so happens that I had to learn about this yesterday. To build a
MS-Word document from an ASP file use:
 
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
 
If you want the resulting document to come up in MS-Word instead of the
browser include this:
 
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=Name.doc"
 
The above is explained at

There's an example at

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction of getting information
from the user >>> entered into a database >>> then into a word doc format to
be printed out??
 
Does anyone know the equivalent of this cold fusion tag in asp ???
<cfcontent type=application/msword"
file="D:\users\share\data_mirror\tecr_form.doc">
I would like to emulate the same function as this just not sure how any
information would be greatly appreciated. 
thanks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You create a HTML form. You post the form to an ASP page. You get the values
of the HTML form elements via the Request.Form() collection, or the
Request.QueryString() collection if you use method="Get" for your form.

You then use ADO to put the data into a database.

If you want to dynamically create a Word document, you need to use Office
Automation - instantiate an MS Word object on the server and put the data
you want in, then save the Word document.

There are numerous links that you can find at www.google.com for handling
all these things. If you get stuck at a particular point, please feel free
to post again.

You need to set the ContentType property of the Response object
    -or-
Directly add the appropriate HTTP header

Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
    -or-
Response.AddHeader "contenttype", "application/msword"

You'll need to use the Response.BinaryWrite() method to stream the data to
the client.
