Thanks but I don't yet see a solution. I want to call: System.setProperty( "docb.toHTML1.transform", xlsName);
Experimentation leads me to conclude that "xlsName" must be a string that is an absolute URL. Please tell me if that is not so. The xls file named by xlsName is a file that is relative to the configuration directory. The API: URL thURL = getApp().getActiveOpenedDocument().getConfiguration().getURL(); returns a URL that does indeed start with file://server/path... So I see no way of deriving an absolute URL that java can handle. If "xlsName" in the above SetProperty function can be relative -- or a file path rather than a URL, then I will have a solution. getApp().getActiveOpenedDocument().getStyleSheetInfo() does not help me because the document does not know about the style sheets of interest. I guess I could figure out how to get the document to know about the style sheet -- but even if I do, I fear the URL will again include a UNC. The only other alternative I see is to re-implement the docb.toHTML1.transform command in my custom.xxe, and make copies of the resources that it expects to copy. --Mike At 01:21 AM 9/3/2007, you wrote: >Mike Thompson wrote: >>Thanks again.
