Dear All,


I have a web application which outputs a html file. But, when i use the

' file menu - edit with microsoft word ' option, it visits the web
server again to display the file. inside microsoft word. Has anyone
come across this problem ?. Is it possible to open the file from the
cache itself? Do we have to set any parameters to the webpage, so that
ms word can understand that it should open from local cache.


Thanks and Regards
Subramanian

Hi,


Thank you very much for the reply,
Will try to explain the process better to make it much more clearer ...



user logins to system - > clicks on a link -> system responds with a
open/save option ( its a html page)


Behaviour 1
-------------------
user clicks open ( the web page is displayed) -> user says edit with
microsoft word -> word opens file from the server ( in fact, it
displays the login page inside word)


Behaviour 2
-------------------
user clicks save ( the web page is saved locally) -> user selects the
file on the desktop and says edit with microsoft word -> file opens
properly


Behaviour 1 is not really consistent.. it varies from system to system
and we dont have any clue on why it happens so


Any information will be of great help
