client-side automation: word
when the button is clicked, i'd like to open word (the application itself) on the client-machine and it should generate a report of the data the user has just submitted to the server (sql 2000)
because this didn't work as i thought it would, i made a test-project: a page with one button that opens word and a certain document for me...
the code executes, but i don't see word opening on my screen. Under processes a proces winword.exe has started... is there something wrong with my code or is it my configuration?
Code:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication1.WebForm1"%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>WebForm1</title>
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
dim objword
Sub Button_Click(s as Object, e as EventArgs)
objword = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objword.documents.open("C:\testdoc.doc")
objword.visible = true
objword = nothing
End Sub
</script>
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" Width="126px" Height="47px" OnClick="Button_Click">
</asp:Button>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>
