asp_web_howto thread: Creating a MailMerge Document via ASP.Net


Message #1 by "Peter Bradley" <pbradley@u...> on Mon, 17 Feb 2003 13:15:56
Hi,

We are just moving to a .Net environment and have been given the following
task to prove the concept.

Using a web interface (so ASP) users will specify some parameters in a web
form which will be used to populate a SQL Server database with values based
on the parameters entered into the form.  These values are then to be used
to create a report by putting the values into a Word document formatted as
a skeleton for the report (using Word's MailMerge facilities).  The user
should then be able to save the Word document locally (or to a network
drive to which they have access) in a location of their choice.

How can I call Word's exposed interfaces in an ASP.Net environment?  And
how can I either do the processing in Word on the client (preferred), or
display the document created remotely for the user to save locally?

The procedure is to run in an intranet environment.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Peter
