I have to write a ASP.NET application that creates MSWord document from a template and populated with data from the webpage.
(Templates can reside on the server or client's hard drive.) What is the best way to do this? Is it good idea to have MSWord installed on the server? If it's not a good idea or if MSWord is not installed on the server what are the alternatives? I am using Office 2003. Thank You Peter Peter,
I wouldn't install word on the server... I would create a web service that may be called to get the data from the server. Then I'd create a windows application (which could use zero touch deployment from the server to install on the client). That application would contact the web service and create the document. -- Sincerely, S. Justin Gengo, MCP Web Developer / Programmer www.aboutfortunate.com "Out of chaos comes order."
