Answer 1

From what I understand, what you're trying to do is to read a column inside a word document, and store the values into a database.

First approach - sharepoint

It seems to be a perfect fit for sharepoint. If that is an option you can do the following:

1. set up sharepoint
2. set up a document library
3. set up a document template

The user will have a form to fill values into, but also available in a word document format.

This technique may be overkill depending on what you ultimately want to do.

Second approach - Office SDK

Microsoft Office SDK comes with the CheckBox object. You can try open up the document programmatically and interogate the CheckBox object.

I would not advice this code to be run on the server as Microsoft Office isn't meant to be run as a server. Whereas Sharepoint is.

If you really want to do this, you may need to write a queueing mechanism so that the act of running the office sdk calls is batched and run one at a time in sequence.
