edit/save/update Word files - ASP.Net/SQL

I’m using Visual Studio 2005, ASP.Net 2.0 and SQLServer 2005. I can save .doc files into a binary column in the database. I can open .doc files from the database and view/edit them in Word. I want my customers to have free access to their Word documents. If they want to edit them they HAVE TO save them back to the database. This is the problem. When the file is retrieved and then edited (in Word), how do you save/update the file back into the database, without them going back and reupload it to the database? Is there away to do all this in an ASP.Net webpage? I'm just trying to keep the number of steps down that the customer need to do to edit/save/update their Word file.
