You might light to download an eval version of our WordLynx product - runs as a service on an "NT" style machine, and allows you to easily merge data to word templates --> clients can change their own "forms layout" by modifying the word templates, with no need to change any Basic code (UNLESS someone want's to include some data that no-one else ever had)
Full Doco on the download site, and sample code to get you going - http://www.stamina.com.au/Products/LynxProducts/Products_Downloads.htm will get you started --> Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage an Evolution in Software Development >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-u2- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Leach >Sent: Wednesday, 10 November 2004 8:23 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe > >I have done something similar for a client, using a simple VB program. > >The documents are written to a nominated shared directory on the server, >along with a print request written to a data file.
