Forms 4.5 and launching a Word Document

I am thinking about using forms 4.5 (and later 5.0) for an application that a client wants. I need the ability to do the following:

1. Load a Word document from the hard drive and save it as a blob in the database.
2. Retrieve the doc(blob) from the database at a later date and launch word to edit it/print it, etc.

I feel there should be no problem storing the doc as a blob.

I dont care if I have to save the file to disk (temp) and then launch word with the file as an argument as long as I can get the blob out from within a forms application.

Has anyone done this and is it possible ?
