The following code works perfectly with WORD6/Windows95/PB6, but does not work for WORD 97/NT.

WordPerfect: OLE automation through OLE control
OK, I connected to WordPerfect from PB6.5 by using OLEObject like: OLEObject ole_obj ole_obj= CREATE OLEobject li_rc=ole_obj.ConnectToNewObject ("WordPerfect.PerfectScript") ........ Now it accepts automation commands. But my goal is to start OLE automation through Object property of OLE control. Something like: ole_1.Activate(Offsite!) ole_obj=ole_1.Object.WordPerfect.PerfectScript ..... And that does not work though it does with Word. Does somebody know if it is possible at all to make OLE automation through OLE control and how to do that? Thanks ...

MS-Word & Powerpoint automation, using OLE automation [Edit]
Hello, Here is what I need to do, from my Delphi application : starting from a MS-Word document, create a PPT presentation simply made of a series of embedded MS-Word objects. There would be 1 slide for each page of the source document (assuming same page size & orientation on both sides). This requires to control both a WordApplication and a PowerpointApplication in parallel, and proceed basically as follows : - in Word, open the source file - In Powerpoint, create a new presentation - For each page of the Word doc, |- in Word, select from start to end of current page, then &quo...

ActiveX, OLE Automation, OLEStorage
1.) Does anyone know how to create an ActiveX control in PB 6.0 or 6.5? 2.) I have utilized OLE automation to use some functionality of Excel and Word. Unfortunately, whenever I use the ConnectToNewObject() or ConnectToObject() functions of an OLEObject variable, either the entire application of Word or Excel application is opened behind the scenes. This is the case even though I only want to use a single function within these applications. It seems like a waste to load the entire application to get just at simple functionality. Is it possible to open lightweight component applicatio...

OLE Automation with Word 7
All my users and fellow developers are on Word v7.0a (which does not work) and only I happen to have 7.0 (which works). I've tried background printing on and off in Word. The routine loops through multiple records as shown beloew. The first run through is fine. It fails on the second record at the FileOpen/FileNew. I tried adding wait loops of 10 seconds (!) after the fileprint and the fileclose - to no avail. The error is "Error calling external object function fileopen...". I tried upgrading to the latest PB5.0.04 maint release - still no dice. Does Powerb...

OLE automation with word 97
Dear Sir /Madam I like to ask about how to use the oleobject with Word 97, On word 95 and its predecessor, its clear to use "word.basic" but the speed is very slow compare with other OLE connectivity, So I try with word 97, but the format and function of word 97 is very different from the previous ones, they use VBA (for visual Basic Command), So I like to ask if to use OLE with word97 to connect and merge letter with data supplied by PowerBuilder, like code below, what is the corresponding code in word 97?, or Does PowerBuilder 5.0 does not support Word 97 or vice-versa. ...

Excel and/or Word OLE Automation
I found out that the client machines that will be running my app will have office 95 on them. So I decided to use the spell checking example that Powersoft provied to work with Excel, instead of using the VS ocx. I found out that I handed in one set of problems for yet another set of problems. I took the example from PS and changed the mle to be dw column. The text in the column has hard returns in it, so when I set the text in excel I get | where the hard returns are. This is only a minor problem, that I could live with. However the big problem is that one of two things happen...

Word Automation through Win32::OLE
Long time lurker, first time poster...please be gentle. I am attempting to move through a directory, pull out only files of a ..fin extension (which is Word document format), save each one as .rtf (Rich Text Format). I'd also like to be able to run some predefined macros on the files, but I thought just being able to save was a good place to start. Currently I get an error stating 'Can't call method "SaveAs" on an undefined value'. If someone could point me to some clearer text on Win32::OLE than the stuff that ASPN, CPAN and Oreilly's Win32 o...

Word 6 OLE automation
Hi, I'm using OLE automation with Word 6 to perform a mail merge. Most of the methods work OK (FileOpen, FilePrint etc.) but some of them don't (FileClose). PB says : Error calling external object function blablabla ... The function's name is OK, and the parameters also. I've debugged the externalexception event, and the OLE server tells me that I've tried to handle an element like a function when it isn't. The bizarre thing is that, calling a macro with that instruction (FileClose) works. Perhaps the solution is putting all the code in the macro ? ...
