Live editing of a server document

[Beren]

Hello,

I've got the following problem :

Someone generates an RTF document, which is stored on the server side. Next
he must be able to edit the document in a WYSIWYG way, and save right back
to the server (without downloading to the user first and uploading again)

What would be the best way to implement this ? Anything goes. ActiveX,
Richtextbox ways, etc...

Thanks in advance,

Beren

Okay, first, it ain't gonna happen. The file must be sent to the
client for the client to directly edit it, whether you use ActiveX, or
any other editor that displays the file on the user's screen. If it
gets to the client's screen, it's getting sent to the client.

That aside, there are quite a few WYSIWYG editor components to do this
type of thing. Might look at some like:

http://www.yusasp.com/prj04.asp
http://aspedit.net/EnableAll.asp

Or use Google or aspin.com for more. Even Word can do this if it's
available in your environement.
