Although you want to opena word doc, I think you need to post in the VB.Net forum.


as a guess as I haven't done much in .Net, you'd need to reference the office object and access all the methods and properties through your objects.

ie create a word application, using the reference to it, open a doc, and using the reference to that do what you need to for printing/updating the doc.

There should be examples at the top of the .Net forum (or links to).

Once you have some code that doesn't work, post up in there for advice.

Good luck

just give the reference of Office 11.0 and word 11.0 namesapce from COM

imports microsoft.office.interop.word

dim objApp as new Word.Application
dim objDoc as new Word.Document
objApp.Documents.Open("\\Word file path")
objApp.visible = true

it will open your saved file.
