I need to develop an asp.net(vb) intreface for a document storage software.

The documents are stored on a database (SQLServer, Sybase or Oracle) in bolb fields.

My web application needs to get the document from the database, open it on the client correct app (xls-excel, doc-word, bmp-paint, txt-notepad, etc) as if it was a local file, wait for the user to edit it as he likes, and then, when the user saves it, zip and upload the file back to the database.

Is this possible by any means???

Can a web application save a file on a specific folder on the client computer, and then upload it to the server?
Do I have to use ActiveX or any other technology for this?
