display rtf in asp

[spiral123]

I need to display a rtf file online and have a user be able to append comments to that same file. I would like the file to be above the webroot level so the files can only be accessed through the asp page. Not sure where to start. Any help is appreciated.

you planning on making user friendly kind of gui interface?

or just let them edit it in say a textarea box?


other suggestions is to look into embed or java applets to place into the asp page

I was palnning on displaying the contents of the rtf in a asp page, then below that having a multiline textbox that appends the info from the textbox to the rtf. I am trying it this way because the user has 8546 rtfs that they need to show and edit and I thought this might be easier than transporting that information into the database, plus some of the info is letters that are sometimes 6 or 7 solid pages of text.

well you can display the RTF in a text area faily easily with use of FSO but, RTF has alot of tags and stuff in it like HTML does, hence the question about the GUI before

outputting the RTF right into the webpage would take alot of conversion of the RTF to be HTML friendly

need more info ... like is RTF really required? can it be done with html? what about plain text?
