Office Document inside the browser opening problem

Question

I have a web app that opens a office document inside the browser for editing... All fine, works fine.....

BUT, if i the Office Word is already Open in the machine, and the user try to open one doc throught the webapp, inside the browser,
the Word task of windows starts to blink, and the document don't load until you click in the task.
When you click the task, and then go back to the browser, the document loads...

Anybody has an idea on how to solve this?
It's really annoying for the users...

Thanks

Hi, Fuah.

You just can't open an instance of a word document twice! 

As matter of fact, you just can't do anything else with this file until you close it.

so, you gotta treat your code to check if the file is "locked" by another app else before trying to open it in your app.
