Hi,

I'm working on a windows application (I'm using VB.NET) and to fulfil one of
my requirements I need to display in a control on a Fom word and excel
documents, but the end user should not be able to edit them.

I've tried to use the WebBrowser control, but could not yet find out how to
avoid the document to be edited. The dialog box asking if I would save the
changes keep being displayed when I close the form even if I do not even
touch the opened document in the webbrowse control.

Even if it is not possible to avoid the user changing the document, I would
like to know a way of automaticaly ignoring any changes and not display the
annoying dialog box when I close the fom.

Any help will be highly appreciatted.

NFG.
