We are in the process of upgrading to Office 2010 from Office 2003. Our company uses a Windows Form Application which has Microsoft Word embedded. The application was written by our previous Software Developer.
I've made a few changes to the application to make it compatible with the newer version of Office, but there's one issue I am unable to fix.
When the Winform application is running, if a user opens a Word document outside of the Winform application, the document in question will open in Microsoft Word, but will use the instance of Word used by the Winform application. (It detaches itself from the Winform application and opens in a new window until the document is closed).
This doesn't happen when we are running the application with Office 2003. When the user opens a document, a new,separate instance of Word is created.
Please can somebody tell me how we can make the Word Application exclusive to our Winform application?
Many thanks in advance for your help
