Hi All,

How the create following in Dataflex.

A word document is stored in binary-field of a DB and changes need to be made to the word document.

Because the Word document 'lives' on a webserver it is not possible - technical and securitywise- that Microsoft Word opens the file directly on the web.
Or is it? Am i missing something here?

I came up with the following steps

1. Create a physical temporary file on the webserver
2. Transfer the temporary-file to the local computer.
3. Open the word document with Office365 (or any other)
4. Save the word-document on the local computer
5. Recognize that the word file is changed if changes are made
6. Automatically upload the word document to the webserver and based on the name of the temporary-file the record where the word-document resides gets updated.

I need some help with step 2 (documentation on cHttptransfer is minimal. an example would be useful), step 5 (no clue yet how to do this) and step 6 (the automatic part)

Anyone care to help or already figured this out?

Roel
