One of my clients generates a set of documents in a format provided to them by their customers, government agencies, who change their forms on an irregular basis. Rather than tying me into the process every time a form changed, the client choose to use a form-filling software that can use ODBC to merge data. We developed a process in my application where the client can generate a data set and put the resultset into one of a set of temporary batch databases. Then, they can do with the data what they want: Excel imports, Word mail-merges, form generation, etc. And they can operate the form-filling software to do whatever they need. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ 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]
