Problem w/ MS Word OLE Control on ActivePrinter()
Please help, I am trying to dynamically change printer using MS Word's OLE object (function name is ActivePrinter()), and it does not seem to work. Does anyone have any idea as to how or why that function call fails? p.s. It returns the default printer when I don't pass in any parameter, but I can't set another one using the same function. Thanks

I came up with a workaround by changing the default printer by calling n_cst_platform.of_printdlg().

OLE (MS-Word) Control
Hi everybody! I hope I say this all correctly, cause I have only about 6 months experience with PowerBuilder. I'm using version 6.5.1 of PowerBuilder... I have a datawindow where I have placed an OLE control (an MS-Word doc built in Office 97) in the detail band of the datawindow. The Word document is "linked" not "imbeded". The idea is to merge some addresses (Sybase columns) with the Word doc and print it. All of that works great, however once I print the datawindow (using PFC_PRINT), my mouse will appear normal, but clicking on anything, anywhere in...

OLE Custom Control vs. OLE Control
I am using PB 6.0, and am hoping someone can explain something to me. I created a Standard Visual user object based on the olecontrol class (referencing Word). This is called an OLE Custom Control, or at least that's what the properties window says. Why is this different than a regular OLE control? Why is the objectdata attribute not valid? Why are some of the events missing (i.e. close, save, and rename)? These events automatically are included in a regular OLE control. Seems odd to me that you can't inherit from the base olecontrol object, but then again, OLE in gen...

OLE/MS Word Problem during mail merge
Hi, I posted a similar question recently and didn't get a response, and I have done some more research since then. My problem is that we are using MS Word macros to do a mail merge from PowerBuilder, and we run into problems when doing very large (2500-3000) numbers of documents during one batch run. We launch a macro from powerbuilder using OLE, and the macro goes and reads a file and uses the information in that file to populate a print a number of templates. But something seems to go wrong in particularly large runs. Below I have a simplified version of the process w...
ole control not in ole list
Using PB 7.0. I have an OLE control registered which is not in my list of ole objects which are available to be inserted onto a window. Here's the catch. While the control, nethubp.dll, is located in the win\system folder and registered, inorder to use the control properly, I have to go into the oleviewer and remove the "Path To Implementation". This is because at runtime, the dll is accessed from my server, not on the local computer. I can find the control up until I remove the Implementation Path. Any suggestion?
