Hello, is there a way to open a Word application inside of a frame? I need to be able to at the very least display the Standard and Formatting toolbars.
I'm trying to create a web page that has a side menu listing documents in a Case.
When the users select the document, I would like to be able to open up the Word application and load the selected document inside the adjacent frame.
I have been able to open Word documents from the web, but have ran into the following problems:
1)In one environment, when I place the path to the Word document inside an anchor tag, the Word document opens inside the IE browser, but the toolbars do not display. However, I am able to access its menu bar and then display the toolbars. I need to be able to do this programatically. I've tried to place the following function inside the document macro but it did not work.
Sub AutoExec()
ActiveDocument.CommandBars
("Standard
").Visible
= True
End Sub
2)In another environment (also IE), when you click on the link, it downloads the document, and then opens the entire Word application, but not inside of the IE window. I don't know what setting in IE causes this behavior. Is there a way for me to program IE to ensure that it behaves like it did in the other environment?
3)I've tried to create an ActiveX control using VB 6 and embed the object inside a frame. I am able to activate the Word application and load the document, but again, I don't know how to direct the Word application to open inside of the IE container.
Please help.
Thanks!
