Using COM does require a licensed copy of Office on the server. However, even Microsoft doesn't recommend using Office on the server! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757/en/
In a past life I used COM extensively with CF5 and it was very unreliable and quite slow. I can't imagine it would be any better using CFMX given its now Java rather than C++. I've used POI for generating and reading Excel files. It's relatively simple and it works a treat (just make sure you use javaCast for int values). However I have not used it for generating Word docs so can't comment in that regards. If it were me, I'd be trying POI or Jasper (Jasper uses POI for generating its Excel and Word docs). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
