Object (Word) attached to workflow is not changeable

[Willi-Gerd Schmitz]

Hello,
I attach a Word-Document to a workflow, this word-Document should be =
changed by users in following workflow steps. (to collect comments)
The word document is stored in a puplic folder in the R/3 office (there =
it's possible to change it for everybody)
I use a SOFM-object which I generate in a background-method and move to =
container &_ADHOC_OBJECTS//&.
 
My problem: It is not possiible to change the attached object in the =
workflow - word is started only in display-mode.
 
If i use a RAW-document instead of WORD it works - it is possible to edit =
the RAW document directly from the workitem display - just double-click.
If i use Word and container ATTACH_OBJECTS it's also not working (like =
it's documented: Attachments are not changeable).
 
Has anybody experience with this problem? How do you manage to attach a =
word document to workflow and edit it?=20
Is it the wrong way to store the document in a puplic folder?
 
For those interested in my solution the coding of the background method - =
just prototyping:
