Open doc from URL using dsofile

[Leonos]

Hi,

I want to open a word document located on my webserver using the dsofile object from microsoft, but I can't get it to open the file.

I can get it to work when I use my local drive as the location of the document :
MyWordFile.Open("c://mydocs//document.doc", false, DSOFile.dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionOpenReadOnlyIfNoWriteAccess), but that's not what I want

You can use either relative or absolute path here.

Documentation for the Directory class:
In members that accept a path, the path can refer to a file or just a directory. The specified path can also refer to a relative path or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path for a server and share name. For example, all the following are acceptable paths:
- "c:\\MyDir" in C#, or "c:\MyDir" in Visual Basic.
- "MyDir\\MySubdir" in C#, or "MyDir\MySubDir" in Visual Basic.
- "\\\\MyServer\\MyShare" in C#, or "\\MyServer\MyShare" in Visual Basic.

Take a look at following links too...

Well, I'm not opening from a UNC path so that was the problem.
But I have managed to get it to work.
Someone should hit me with a stick, because the answer was so simple..

Is had to use the Server.MapPath offcourse to get it to work.

.Open(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/document.doc",false,...)

Easy actually.
