A good example of viewing word documents on a asp.net page can be viewed at http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Display-Word-document-on-web-page-in-ASP.Net.aspx

Have a look at a related post to ensure that the location and generation of the file is correct.

You can try a third party library called "Doconut", here is a demo which actually shows a resume DOC opened in an asp.net website, similar to your requirements http://try.doconut.com/Ribbon.aspx This could help anyone else having similar requirements.

Uploading document must have specific path.So try:

Dim objFile as System.IO.File
Dim sReader as System.IO.StreamReader
sReader = objFile.OpenText(“YourUploadedFilePAth”)

I am sure you can find much on this topic via Google as this is a consistently recurring topic . Here are a few options:

Opening/Editing of Word Documents via ActiveX Controls - Word/Excel ActiveX Controls in ASP.NET
Via Office Object Model (basically a wrapper around COM Objects) - Automating Applications Using the Office Object Model
Via 3rd Party Libraries e.g. NetOffice (netoffice.codeplex.com)

You may use:

Dim filePath As String = "C:\Attachments\fileName.xls" -- any file format

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filePath)
