How to make a office viewer (read-only)?

This is a word viewer from microsoft. It alows you to view a document.  You can save but not in ms word format.

I need only a viewer, without print, save, save as, copy or edit. Using word viewer I can disable this options ?

I hope this gives you an answer else I will not be able to help you.

Ok 3_S,
I will use word viewer, controlling the DocumentSave event, but which file I put(check) in Project/references? Or which component I use?
There aren't any olb, tlb, dll or ocx in the word viewer(...\OFFICE11) folder registered to use,
like a MSWORD9.OLB I use at this moment.
Tks,

The word viewer cannot be automated

I only had experience with the powerpoint and access snapshot viewer.  So I did some testing with the viewer.  There is no need to limit the possiblity to save.  It's not available in the viewer.
The only thing you can do is print and select the whole content of the document and copy this to the clipboard.  Then with an other program you can save this. If the full MS word is not available on the computer you cannot make a word document.
To open a document with the viewer see attached code (it takes the default program attached to the extension, so this means word viewer must be attached to .doc)

Do the users have the full MS office installed on their computer?

If you realy want to prevent users from overwriting of modifying the content of a file use NTFS permissions to prevent this. (Give only read right to this file/folder/network share)

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
 
 
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "c:\mydocument.doc", vbNullString, "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL

Select allOpen in new window

My big problem is my users using staroffice, office 2000, office 2003, and so on. I need a viewer to unify this.
The users doesn't accept the solution above because the .doc files must be associate to winword.
I need another way to do is.

Then secure the file using NTFS security. Then it will always open read-only if they have only read-only rights.
Or do the file do not have a fixed location?

I use this and works fine:
Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE " & Chr(34) & Text1.Text & Chr(34)
But,
1) Is there a way to indicate the left, top, width and height of the wordviewer? To put just a place in the form, maybe there is a dll to do it.
2) How I cancel the menu bar to avoid print, open for edition, etc?

There are many third party control  in which you can control this all.  But none are free as far as I know.
So you will have to make a chose.

Well 3_S,
I will accept your answer and give the points to you, but, is very far from a solution to my problem. I will continue looking for a viewer or I will make one using the wordviewer and some dll.

tks,
