OLEObject lole_word string ls_mytext = "Trial text" li_rc = lole_word = CREATE OLEObject li_rc = lole_word.ConnectToNewObject("word.basic") // in NT WORD is opened INVISIBLY // It appears as a process in the Task Manager // li_rc = 0 li_rc = lole_word.FileNew("normal", 0) // Returns li_rc = NULL li_rc = lole_word.Insert(ls_mytext) // Not recognised by WORD97 li_rc = ...

OLE and MS Word
Hello, I'm looking for a simple application that creates a Word document (*.doc) and writes some text there without opening Word and then closes the connection to that OLE object...

Ole to Word 95 (Word 7)
I am trying to get Word to retrieve a document and come into focus. The ConnectToObject is working fine. The retrieve is working fine. The only problem that I am having is getting Word to pop-up if it is currently minimized. If it is not minimized, a AppActivate() command works fine. I have tried AppMaximize(),AppShow() and AppRestore(). If Word is minimized, none of these work. Anyone have any ideas ??

Word 6.0 and Word 97 installed
We have two versions of MS Word installed, Word 6.0 and Word 97. We have all the OLE control objects and commands written for Word 6.0. We are not ready to code for Word 97 yet. We have users that need both version of Word installed. How do we point to Word 6.0 OLE object when we have Word 6.0 and Word 97 installed? Is there a way we can modify the registry entry to point to Word 6.0? Right now, everything is pointing to Word 97. When I create a OLE word object on the window, it points to Word 97. Thanks, Lynn ...

Migrating OLE from Word 95 to Word 2000
I've spent the last week and half looking up syntax in Word's VBA help file and trying to get it to work in a very large PB 6.5.1 program. Today I stumbled upon a document at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q232/4/65.ASP I hope I'm wrong, but I get the impression from reading the text and looking at the code examples, that pretty much all you have to do to migrate is to insert the VBA keyword WordBasic in our PB ole code. For instance, ole_contact_ltr.FilePrintSetup(ls_printer_name, 0) <== Works with Word 95 ole_contact_ltr.WordBasic.FilePrintSet...

OLE Word Crash with non-Word blob
I am using an OLE control with word and reading/storing the data as a blob in an oracle database. I allow the user to initially populate the blob with a GetFileOpenName(). Everything works fine as long as the users select a valid word file. If they select something else, such as a text file, when I load the blob with the this.ObjectData = lbl_document statement, I get a "Bad runtime function reference " at that line. Is there any way to more gracefully capture this error? Thanks in advance, Scott Ewine If you're on PB8 or later, use structured excepti...

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, MS Word, PB
I want to use OLE control to display an existing MS word document inside a powerbuilder response window. I used ole_1.InsertFile(filename) and displayasactivexdocument!, I can see the document, but the word's toolbar, menu, status bar all being displayed. How do I hide them but still have scrollbars? If I define as displayascontent!, the document has very small font, no scrollbars, and it is not readable. Please advice how to do this. I do not need to edit nor save the document. Dear "Joy"! There is some way to hide all the commandbars in word ( when ole-c...

OLE to MS Word for Spellchecking
I'm starting an OLE instance of Word (version 10) to take advantage of it's spell checking feature. This works fine except for when I ADD a new document to Word. The ADD function wants to be visible by default. We don't want the user to see anything except the Checkspelling dialog if it finds and word in question. I've searched around and found that there are some parameters for the ADD statement. In fact, the fourth paramater is the visibility value. I've been trying various combinations of passing parameters or a parameter string through my OLE object to Word...

PB
Helo, I have following problem. I want only to write some data read from DB in PB to a Word docment and then to print it out. I am using OLE - everything is OK - I am connected to MS Word, the file is opened, I can even print it ...., but I can't manage to write on a bookmark. I have already tried following, but nothing works: ole_word.object.Application.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("testbook").Range.Text = "test value" Since I know that there can be troubles with bookmarks (defined x notdefined) in Word I thought that maybe it could be better to use the boo...
