Christian I have created a .zip archive and uploaded it to RapidShare a file sharing site. You can recover it by following this link;
http://rapidshare.com/files/19553352/OLE_Demo.zip.html A screen will open that asks whether you want to use the Premium or Free service, choose Free and you should be able successfully to download the archive after a short wait. Once you get the archive, unzip it into a folder somewhere and have a look at the ReadMe.rtf file. It explains what the contents are and should get you started with OLE/COM automation. Currently, the code only opens a file, inserts some text at a bookmark and then saves the file under a different name. If I have the time tonight, I will add the ability to insert tables - the VBA seems quite straightforward. Anyway, have a play with the code and see if you think it offers a way forward; it is quite easy to add features if you require them later. Remember that it is ONLY demonstration code and so you should not try to run it in a production environment. Furthermore, because JNI is at the heart of everything it will only work on a Windows platform and cannot be safely run on a network. Christian Bongiorno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: That would rock!
