Hi,
I need to provide the user with the option to click something, and what
follows is:
1. Download a word document, without displaying winword.
2. Printing the document to the default printer (no print dialog should
pop).
3. Close word.
All of this must be completely "transparent" to the user, just like a
normally installed non-web application. This means that no security
warnings and messages should appear at all.
It is assured that the client has WinWord installed.
We've attempted many solutions, and have managed to perform the above
steps with the following solution:
1. An ActiveX Control is downloaded to the client (one time operation
where the user is asked to "install").
2. The ActiveX Control uses winword automation to open the file, print
it and then close it, using a direct url to the server
(word.Documents.Open "http://blabla/bla.doc").
The only problem is that the website is secured... and word is
therefore considered an anonymous user.
Any ideas (a different solution or a solution to the security issue) ?
Thanks.
