Opening Word documents in a client script

John Dimond

I am converting a V7 process that creates word documents to V9.1. I have created a server script that uses openXML which is working well. The documents are saved to the file system rather than being attached to the folder.

 

There is a requirement for the documents to be available to the user for final amendment. In the V7 process they were presented in a list box, the user selected the file to be opened and clicked on a button. This in turn called a VB script which opened the selected document on the users PC.

 

I have tried to replicate this in V9 with no success, none of the normal 'Word.Application' calls seem to work. Has anyone got any examples of how this might be achieved?

 

Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you have the same security level to this server in IE?
Are you sure you change language in script properties to vb?
Dou you try to create word activex object in js?
