Hello
I would be very greatful for any help on how to automate word from client side code so that it takes information from various server-side controls on the asp.net web page and then generates a word document. I am fairly happy with the actual code i'd need to write as i've automated word before from a windows application, but as i'm fairly new to web programming with asp.net i'm unsure of
(a) how to write client-side code for a web server control
(b) how to access the contents/properties of server-side controls from within the script
I have considered serverside script with word but came across 2 issues, 1) is that i couldn't get it to work because of permissions problems, which after looking through the forums i a problem that others have also encountered!! and 2) is that i need word to open on the client machines so that the document generated can be modified if necessary before printing.
Many, many thanks for any help - even suggestions of books or other resources would be greatly received.
Regards
