Opening Word Document on Client Side from Asp.net Application

Question

We need to open a word document which is located on a server on the clients machine using Microsoft Word. The solution is working locally however when deployed on server then on

Answer 1

The reason it is working locally, is because, well, it isn't. What's happening is that the server is opening the document, but because your local machine is acting as the server it appears as if the file is opened.

One simple solution is for the user to download the file, edit it and upload it back to you.
