How are you trying to view the document in the browser? I've no experience with programming COM objects under Windows but it looks (obvious?) to me that there is no code there to output the saved document to the browser. To output an arbitary file to the browser you can use fopen() and fpassthru(). But for the browser to make some sense of it you should use header() to output the appropriate headers - see manual for examples (and look at the user contributed notes on the online manual for even more examples). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Live from New York ...
