It is possible to automate some of Open Office. I've not personally done it. Here's a wiki page that shows a mail merge: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~OpenOffice and constants: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~OpenOfficeConstants~VFP with a link to more information.
HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Rafael Copquin Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 3:13 PM A client of mine just installed OpenOffice in all the XP Professional machines of his LAN. The VFP 9 exe resides in the W2003K server and works properly. However, I recently added the ability to use automation to show Excel sheets. But this requires all user machines to have their own copy of Excel. Now my client is short of cash and does not want to invest in Excel, because he found that OpenOffice serves perfectly well his word processing and electronic sheets needs. a) is it possible to use VFP9 automation to open a Open Office object, just like one does with Excel, and send the sheets to that object? b) if so, what is the code to do it?
