You can save the Word doc as HTML, then paste the resulting text in a DB, but you're results won't be very acceptable except for the most basic documents. How about leaving them as Word docs, putting them in a folder on your web, and putting hyperlinks to the Word doc in your DB instead? Is that an option? _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination. ASP Checkbox Function Tutorial. (in reply to dzirkelb1)

How the contents of file will be searched? So, there should be proper method to do so... So, please research, discuss and beat the PROBLEM... for me, for everyone. Although I know the proper solution is XML DTD, but I am not gonna challenge it.... Waiting for youre repsonse... (in reply to rdouglass)

Ah, additional criteria!

That wasn't in the original request.

If they're simple doc's, WordPad may suffice to open Word docs.

As to searching Word docs, have you checked into Index Server? It basically put's you into an SQL Server environment, but IMO it's the least amount of coding.

If you're looking for easy "cut and paste" code, I don't know of any. If you want to display Word formatting from a DB (and users don't have Word) did you even try this?
