Basically what your trying to do is supply a Microsoft Word file on a server that’s editable by Word client. The only way you can do this is if you provide access to the server i.e. password(s) and username(s). Search around on Microsoft Web site for information on using Microsoft Word’s on-line features and Web Folders.

You could do something similar using HTML or TEXT formats that could be saved to the server using CGI. Or you could have them edit the file, save it to their desktop, and then provide a form to REupload the document to the server.

like I said on the wsabstract forum, this can't be done with javascript. try asking the cgi forum if they know a way.

Thanks for you reply but i have tried that.
I can open the .doc file, i still edit the .doc file but then when i want to save it, it will prompt me to save to my local drive.

I was wondering if there is a way to allow one to open a document in the server, edit it and then save it without the need to specify the path.

Thanks
