Adding Word Documents and Editing

[bebbo]

I wish to add word documents to my screen. This word document will be already created ie c:\test.doc etc.. I know how to add a word document but I would like to know how to show a specific document ie c:\test.doc or whatever it is called. This document will also need to be edited and alterations saved. How do I do this?

Presuming you have Word installed and it's associated with .DOC files, try:

declare INTEGER ShellExecute in shell32 INTEGER handle, STRING @ oper, STRING @ ifile, STRING @ iparam, STRING @ ipath, INTEGER showcmd

=shellexecute(0,"open",filename,"",startupdirectory,1)

where:

filename = the full name and path of the file eg. c:\document1.doc
and startupdirectory is the start in directory you get with shortcuts eg. c:

Try this
oword=crea('word.basic')
oword.fileopen("c:\newdoc.doc&quot
oword.appshow()
Make your edits and click outside of word to return to vfp
oword.filesave()
oword.fileexit() to close
