Hide Word Document Location After Opening The File
I am opening word file through my windows explorer like application made by VB.Net 2008 Express Edition in XP-SP3 platform. Through my interface user double clickes the file and open the document just like windows explorer. In my application the file path is in a network path and which is hidden partially in my program.
e.g. if there is a file in \\a\b\c\d\e.doc, user only able to see the c\d\e.doc portion in my application.
Now my problem is after the word file has opened, if user goes to File Menu->Save As option in that document the entire path is visible. i.e. the \\a\b\c\d\e.doc path is exposed.
Can anyone suggest me any procedure or tricks to hide that portion of that path? I am attaching the following code for your reference which I am using to open a doc file from my application.
Thanking you in advance :-)

Public Function gfOpenFileByProcess(ByVal InFileNameWithPath As String, ByRef OutError As String) As Boolean
Try
OutError = ""
Dim prNew As New Process
prNew.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(InFileNameWithPath)
prNew.StartInfo.FileName = Path.GetFileName(InFileNameWithPath)
prNew.Start()
prNew.Close()
Return True
Catch ex As Exception
OutError = ex.Message
Return False
End Try
End Function

raja_ind82 and Chris both of you tried to help me and thanx for that. Chris, I am going nearly to your solution. Copying the files to a local directory, using FileSystemWatcher, and trapping whenever the files are midified, I am copying back to my hidden network location. So I am giving you max points :-), however thanx both of you very much for your comments and suggestions
