Steve, are you suggesting that making documents into active content is a good idea?
Microsoft Outlook letters with embedded scripting is bad enough. Why not keep the documents on a central server, and the only way you can access them is through a browser-type client which enforces anti-screen scraping features. Of course, if Hollings has his way, your SSSCA dis-equipped computer will do this all for you....
