VB.net Web Application and Mailmerge

[DiStar]

Hi
I am still a relatively new vb.net programmer and i meet with the following problem.

I have a web application that will make a txt file and will export it to C:\ (in the server)

Then it will also open a microsoft word file that will merge with this txt file (open at client side)

Now my problem is how to make the word file (at client side) mail merge with the txt file (at server side).

I would appreciate any advice that anyone can give me, prefeably if codes is included as i am not that good in vb.net yet.

Thanks !!

Hi
Now i am able to open a word file with the below codes

Imports System.IO

Dim MyFileStream As FileStream
Dim FileSize As Long

MyFileStream = New FileStream("C:\LSAPP520.doc", FileMode.Open)


FileSize = MyFileStream.Length

Dim Buffer(CInt(FileSize)) As Byte
MyFileStream.Read(Buffer, 0, CInt(FileSize))
MyFileStream.Close()

Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.BinaryWrite(Buffer)

Response.Flush()
------------------------------------------------------------

But it seems that i could not refresh it , seems that the data is got from the cache. However when i try to insert a merge field, it will be updated. Anyone knows why?

How do i delete the cache?

I am also pondering whether to force the user to click on
<< ABC>> as can be seen below to force them to refresh.

Anyone has any idea on how i can enable it? it is disabled



Pls advice

Thanks and Regards.
