Hmm, I don't know about intercepting the "Save As..." option from word to trigger a PHP URL, but you could direct people to save their edited word files to a specific directory on a network share on a PHP-enabled server (easy enough on a Windows network, and not too much harder with Samba on Linux)... then you could run a PHP script as a cron job to check for modified files in that directory every five or ten minutes, and have the script upload them as needed.
It's not instantaneous, and there would definitely be some logistics to work out (what if two people are editing the same file at the same time, how do you account for that 5-10 minute lag, etc.) but it might be better than nothing. -Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Hewitt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 3:47 AM > To: Kevin Stone > Cc: David Russell; php-general > Subject: Re: [PHP] Editing Word Documents > > > I think what the OP meant (certainly what I meant), is that the Word doc > is accessed from a normal link.
