Well, Word automation is basically unsupported by Microsoft so you might have trouble finding a good solution. Someone posted on here earlier today about an XML solution for generating Word docs. You may want to look at that.

Yeah, Google has been my friend for many years. Even as I posted this question on CF-Talk, I had downloaded and evaluated a couple of off-the-shelf solutions for generating the BarCodes that I needed. I can even invoke one of them through CF. But like I said, that is only half the battle. I need to be able to embed the generated code into an existing Word Doc, via CF. That's something I don't know how to do. All the googling, ends up with VB solutions. Even when I contacted tech-support for one of the software vendors, they responded with a VB solution. I'm not a VB guru, and don't know much about writing ActiveX objects, or using the OLEViewer to decipher all the hex codes and various and sundry variables that I would need to manipulate were I to use CF to access it. Oh well, this horse is pretty much dead. I'll walk away. If anyone's interested I can email them off-list if I come up with a CF interface that does what I need. Otherwise, thanks all, and good night, Ali ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:201547 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
