Hi,

Till Version 2007 I use OLE Automation to use MS-Word with my App.

Since 2010 it is not possible any more, because Office 2010 ist working
different.

Has anybody an workaround to use Office 2010 (Word and Excel) with VO (I use
2.7a)

Thanks

Ruediger

simple solution - move to Open Office - its free, it works, its
faster, its better, and now nearly half [ <!> ] the world uses it.

Richard,

Is an Ole Auto Connection possible with Open Office? Several Years ago there
was no way.

Are you using the OleAutoObject or a generated class?

Under 2.8 - 2837 the terminal app following works fine:

FUNCTION Start()
LOCAL oWord AS OBJECT

oWord := OLEAutoObject{"Word.Application"}

IF !oWord:fInit
TextBox{,"INFO","word not installed!"}:Show()
ELSE
TextBox{,"INFO","word installed!"}:Show()
ENDIF

oWord := NULL_OBJECT

WAIT

RETURN NILJamal

Firstly there is no useful way to automate it.
Secondly, it doesn't integrate with the more popular office products and
tools.
Thirdly, you can't develop for it in Visual Studio
Fourthly, less than 4% of the business community uses it.

If half the world used Open Office then I would expect to see half our
client base in Oz, the USA and Europe to be using it. Well so far none
do and none have enquired. You need to investigate your stats a little.
