Hi,
Is it possible to open MS Word from IE without using ActiveX? And if so, how?
Thanks,

Hi Claudia,

Opening and manipulating other applciaitons from script within the browser woudl be a security concern. If you can explain what you are trying to to in more detail there may be other solutions.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I am supposed to implement a new functionality for a

CMS. The idea is to allow users to edit content not only in the browser (IE)

but also in MS Word. So I would like to launch Word (when a user clicks the “edit

in Word” link) and transmit several information such as the current URL, which

content is to be edited, etc to the Word document.

Thanks for any hint!!

I have tried to look into ActiveX... has ActiveX been replaced by Windows Forms Controls?

Is this a good way for me, to solve my problem?

Thanks for any help!!
