Does anybody have some experience with opnening word documents in vb.net
I know how I can open a word document but is it also possible to open it in your vb application.
When you open it normally your word doc is above your application...

I did some research myself... Can I use axwebbrowser t open a word document in?

You can do it in a few ways: the first that comes to mind it to add a reference to the MSOffice objects and use the Word API.

The other is to use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(), where youd pass the file path as the arg to Start() and this will start the app associated with your the file-type in the path argument.
 
thx for the reply... but I think Im going for the browser
Then I can realy open it in my application.

thx koen
