Hi all!
I need to have a list of uploaded word document names on
a page that when clicked on, allows the word doc to be
edited and then saved back to the server. I know that if I
put the link to a file (on the server) on a page, it will
open a local version of the document in word that allows
editing. This doesn't allow the file to be saved back to
the server though (with good reason). In order to save it
back to the server, the user could upload it to the server
again after editing (with <CFFILE>). I was just wondering
if there is a way for the document to be opened, edited and
saved back to the server all at once. I've looked at
www.cfcomet.com, but I'm not sure if the <CFOBJECT> tag is
what would work here.
This is the code I pulled off of cfcomet, but I'm a little
stuck... the code errors out when it hits the second
<CFOBJECT> tag...? Thank-you for any help :)

<!--- Try to connect to the Word application object --->
<CFTRY>
<!--- If it exists, connect to it --->
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CONNECT"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">
<CFCATCH>
<!--- The object doesn't exist, so create it --->
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CREATE"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>
<CFSCRIPT>
/* This will open Word if running locally */
objWord.Visible = true;
/* This returns the 'Documents' collection of the Word
object */
objDoc = objWord.Documents;
/* Specify a document to open */
newDoc = objDoc.open("D:\template.doc");
... Additional Code ....
/* Save the changes */
newDoc.Save();
OR
/* If you want to save it as a new document */
newDoc.SaveAs("D:\template_new.doc");
/* Close the document */
newDoc.Close();
/* Quit Word */
objWord.Quit();
