opening Word document inside axwebbrowser

I created an aplication that opens Word documents inside an axwebbrowser object in the windows form. Howeve, if i run 2 instances of the application and open 2 files - FileA.doc and FileB.doc, i lose control of the toolbar icons on FileA.doc as soon as i open FileB.doc in the second instance of the aplication....ie... i am no longer able to click on the toolbar buttons. The toolbar buttons are visible but do not function and cannot be clicked on. Please help.

Doesn't sound too surprising. What happens when you switch focus back to FileA.doc first?

I dont quite get what you are asking me.... but let me try and explain.

1. Run 1st instance of the application and open FileA.doc - All toolbar icons of word for FileA.doc working
2. Open 2nd instance of application and open FileB.doc -All toobar icons working in FileB.doc
3. Coming back to FileA.doc(switching focus back to FileA) - Toolbar icons visible but not working.
4. note: no mater how many times i change focus between FileA and FileB it is only FileB word toolbar icons that is working now.

HOWEVER:...................

if i refresh or reopen FileA.doc in the First instance of the application, Control now shifts to FileA.doc and FileB loses functionality of the toolbar icons.

Well, sounds like a Word issue. Certainly not of Windows Forms, the topic of this forum. You'll have to find an Office support newsgroup.

Thanks nobugz... Hoever whats funny is that i am playing ping pong between the MS Word programming and the window form forums. Both are redirecting me towards the other. Anyways. Will keep you posted if i find a solution.
