Hi
I am still a relatively new vb.net programmer and i meet with the following problem.

I have a web application that will make a txt file and will export it to C:\ (in the server)

Then it will also open a microsoft word file that will merge with this txt file (open at client side)

Now my problem is how to make the word file (at client side) mail merge with the txt file (at server side).

I would appreciate any advice that anyone can give me, prefeably if codes is included as i am not that good in vb.net yet.

Thanks !!

ok correct me if i am wrong but this is near impossible cos for one for a browser to allow that it would be a MAJOR security risk. there are other issues with this as well how you gonna transfer the data ? why not have the user download the file ?
this may be able to be done if you are in a controlled environment e.g on an intranet.
