Greetings Again Peter,
You said "or (better), import the WP type library and make Vtable calls to
it."
I finally figured out how to import the Corel - WordPerfect Type Library. I
found out that the Type Library has a class name of TApplication as Delphi
also has, so I had to rename the class name to TWPApplication when importing
to avoid any conflict.
I now have TPerfectScript as a component on my palette, but no documentation
on how to use it.
Can you tell me what "Vtable" is and how to use it? Or anywhere I can go to
find documentation on how to use it?
Or better yet, anyone that has used it to do merging with WordPerfect from
Delphi can share how they do it?
Thanks to all who reply...
Mike

Ah, you're talking about WordPerfect... I missed, 'Perfect'. The last time
I
used WP was under MS DOS 6.0... But, if WP has an COM Automation
interface,
it should be simple to invoke a macro from Delphi using that.
Something like:
var WP: OleVariant;
begin
WP := CreateOleObject('progID'); { whatever progID }
WP.method; { whatever method would invoke your macro }
end;
or (better), import the WP type library and make Vtable calls to it.
Cheers,
Peter

Greetings Peter,
Thanks for the reply. We use Word Perfect for all merging. Is there
anything that would work with that? Any examples or resources on how to
do
it?

I would recommend doing this by calling a macro in Word, because then
you
don't introduce a dependency of Word versions into your program.

A relatively simple way to do this is to create a word macro and run
the
macro from the command line via Delphi. Similar thing can be done with
VBA.
It isn't as Delphi driven but it works pretty well at least with the
older
versions of word.
