Hi there,
I have a servlet that opens a document in word. It runs the WOrd Application & populates the text as I want it to do. I then save the document to a particular location.
I want to stop the user from Saving the Document to any other location than the one I choose.
Is it possible to Disable the "Save As" feature of MS Word?
I am using Windows 2000 & Word 2000.
Any ideas???

Disable the saveAs feature of MSWord...Not that I am aware of. There might be a way to make it readOnly, that still will not stop them from saving it somewhere else though.

There is a way, but it involves using VBA to customize the way Word saves that particular document.

Which is beyond the scope of this site.

check out msdn.microsoft.com, or www.searchvb.com

Hi Dave
Would you like to share how you open up a word document using a servlet and populate it with text. My current project deals with something like this and currently I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks !

Hi Cindy,
Currently to do this I am using a Java Bean developed by someone in Germany.
Check out this site - http://www.must.de/Javactpe.htm
This tells you how to manipulate a word document from within Java.
If you have any more questions, feel free to mail me.
