i have a word document in the web server and i want it to be accessed by the user in a readonly mode so that they cannot copy or save it from their local drive.<BR><BR>Thank You.In Word go to Tools menu and select 'protect doc' and select 'comments' ( no need for password )thank you kevindockerty.<BR><BR>but when i open in a IE. there is a dialog box that is asking if you want to download it or open it.<BR><BR>how can i disable this dialog boxYou will need Word ( or Word viewer ) installed on the client machine to do this, and as long as your documents have a '.doc' extension this will work. Installing word or word viewer will give you the activex component you need to do this. Word viewer is free !
