No. I was using a MS Word interface. They are letters to clients and had fill-in fields from the data. I used Word back then because I needed the letters to have a professional look and a simple means for the client to edit the letter tempIate. I have considered using OpenOffice just as I did with Word (and got it running). But two issues appeared. 1. I had trouble with cross platform (Linux and Windows). 2. The client staff did not like the idea of using OpenOffice (at least there was some resistance). The first issue was due to OpenOffice using python 2.3 on Windows. I could get around the problem by using an OpenOffice server (on a linux box). But the second looks like a tuff nut to crack. So now I'm considering using reportWriter. If I can determine a simple way for the staff to edit the templates and still use reportWriter it would be the best of both worlds. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
