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 Windows (Windows 98) acts like the mouse wasn't clicked.
For example, I can't click on the "X" to close any Windows applications, or
click on the desktop to launch anything.
I have to use the keyboard <<ALT>> <<FILE>> <<CLOSE>> to close an
application. Rebooting Windows is the only way I have found to clear this
problem.
Is OLE buggy? Is it PowerBuilder?? Or have I missed something in my
script(s) that I need to do???
My guess is that the OLE is eating up my memory and clobbering the mouse. I
have had other users try my application on their machines, and same problem.
I'm using the MS-Mouse with the wheel in the center (POINT32.EXE) but others
who have tried it using just a standard MS-Mouse also have the same problem.

Hi Jim, Have you tried running your application on a Win95 station? If it works there, you have discovered a Win98 compliance problem http://techinfo.sybase.com/css/techinfo.nsf/DocID/ID=47859 ) which should be reported to Sybase. BTW, in this printing process, are you using MessageBoxes somewhere. If so, they might interfere with the OLE communication process. If you do have these messageboxes, comment them out and try again.

Powerbuilder to MS Word via OLE is slow
Our application has used Word through an OLE connection for many years. It was always sort of slow but recently we upgraded from Word 95 to Word XP and it got much slower. With Word 95 it took about 15 seconds to connect, load a template, open a document and populate with data. Now that same process takes about 40 seconds with Word XP. A typical user machine is 433mhz with 64 mb RAM. Doubling the RAM gets us back down to about a 15 second response time. The problem is that we have 800 users and no money in the budget to add RAM to 800 machines. I am wondering if any of you hav...

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.

Datawindow with large binary OLE to MS word interface getting memory AccessViolationException
