.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / February 2006Word template to be filled by the server in aspnet
Hello, I wonder how I can populate the fields of a Word template in asp.net. Please note that data will be coming from a DB on the server. Thanks in advance. You need to be more specific in 'exactly' what you are trying to acheive.  SignatureTerry Burns http://TrainingOn.net > Hello, > > I wonder how I can populate the fields of a Word template in asp.net. > Please note that data will be coming from a DB on the server. > > Thanks in advance. I have a word template in which I define lots of bookmark (textbox for user input). I am going to populate those bookmark or texboxes with info from a Database, and display it to the user. How can that be done? Since I won't be able to use CreateObject("Word.application") due to permission issue. But on the client-side script, I can't do it either, as I don't know how I can pass my DB data from the server to the client. Can I do it through XML, but I am a newbie.. Please help! Thanks in advance. Your help would be greatly appreciated. > You need to be more specific in 'exactly' what you are trying to achieve. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Thanks in advance. What is the permission issue ?, using COM is probably going to be what you will use. Alternatively, if you are using 2005 an Word 2003 + you can use code-behind.

Hi Terry, The permission issue is I have to create an ASPNET account and grant permission to that account for accessing the Word.Application object! > You need to be more specific in 'exactly' what you are trying to acheive. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Thanks in advance. There are many ways to export to Word (and Excel), most of which are outlined here: http://SteveOrr.net/articles/ExportPanel.aspx http://SteveOrr.net/articles/ExcelExport.aspx There are also some good 3rd party tools that can provide advanced merging functionality much more easily: http://SteveOrr.net/reviews/AsposeWord.aspx http://SteveOrr.net/reviews/OfficeWriter.aspx SignatureI hope this helps, Steve C.

I read your second link, which is a really good solution, however, I have around 5-10 files for each account (users) and the content/data in the file is client-specific, which means I have tons and tons of files sitting on my sever if I am going to save them before I send to the client's brower. Is there a way for clean up? Thanks in advance. Btw, I got the following error when I tried to open my word document: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Could not open macro storage. Code: oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(tempPath & tempName & ".doc") Is there a way to skip creating an user account in the server, as I know this is not a good practice. Or can I do this in some other way, like xml, but my document is in Word format, with grids...

If you're going to attempt COM Interop with Office on the web server (which is not recommended) then you're going to have to deal with security issues such as needing a valid user account.

I prefer not doing that way, that's why I wonder if I can do it through xml. However, my original template is in Word. With grids, bookmarks. I convert it into xml, however, how can I populate the bookmarks with data in aspnet and push to the browser of the client? Any quick and easy way please? All I want is to populate my Word template and show to my client! Thanks in advance.
