[Openroad-users] Embedding MS Word in an OR application

[Tulloch, Alex]

I have an example of exactly this.

 

We use it for invoicing.

 

I will strip out an example and send it to you

 

Alex.

Subject: [Openroad-users] Embedding MS Word in an OR application

 

My users have a need to kick off MS Word from OpenROAD 4.1 (probably
opening a new document from a template or opening a known document that
has a merge incorporated in it then going on to print the merged
document).

 

I know others have done this or something similar (E.G. Pete's "ActiveX
Word - hanging" submission earlier this month).  The OpenROAD
documentation shows me how to create and register External Class
Libraries but I could not tell from the list available to me what I
should be using or how to use it.  I tried a "suck it and see" approach
but didn't get anywhere.

 

I thought it would be easy to search the web and find documentation on
the ActiveX component I should be using and how to use it.  So far I
have had a fruitless, frustrating search that has yielded almost
nothing.  I can't even tell if I need to purchase ActiveX components
(for my developer PC or for runtime PCs as well) or if there are free
ActiveX components I can use.  

 

To get me kick-started, can anyone give me any pointers and/or sample
code?

 

Danny
