How to call MS-Word from an external application to open a file by specifying memory locaton of the file?
I want to call MS-Word from an external application to open a file.
As you know this is quite simple. But I want to open the file not by its name but by its memory location.
So I would like to know is there anyway to open a file only by specifying memory location
Thanks in advance

Cross-process memory access is very difficult and I expect not possible because Windows does not allocate "fixed" memory locations for application-invoked memory requests. These are saved to "virtual" spaces that are moved to accomodate other memory requests. While you might be able to dump the system and find the file in memory, the next instant it might be swapped out or simply relocated during garbage collection/consolidation.

Besides that, there are no command line switches in MS Word to accomplish this. Word is file-oriented, not memory- or process-oriented.
Sorry.
