Add IP address as trusted location?

Question

I need to add an IP address to the trusted locations of Word 2007 since my word VSTO program is connection to a website and is downloading data from there.

Word doesn`t accept IP addresses as trusted locations.

Is there a workaround?

I appreciate any help!

Hi Ekomsdn,

This forum is for Visual Studio 2010 Beta questions and feedback. I've moved this thread to the VSTO forum for released versions as you'll probably get a much quicker response there.

Cheers,

Hi,

You have 2 Options:

- I would download the data using a WebClient Class in side the AddIn, and save it to a local folder - then load it 
- map the drive as Networkdrive e.g. via VPN
- Also I would add the Url to the trusted sites in InternetExplorer

Just an Idea.
