Sorry, yes I understand that, just realised my terminology was all over the
place there. Effectively I want the file served to the client, then I want
to watch that file on the client side to find out whether the user saved or
not, and if they did push the file back to the server for storage.

I will look into the Sharepoint Portal Server. Thanks,

Paul
