Office Automation using OLE etc

[MichaelHawksworth]

For those of you going steadily up the wall trying to automate mailmerges etc. (particularly with Office XP) here is a good place to start.

Also includes lots of examples for VC++ etc.

As an additional note for those using XP, you may be having problems as they have changed the way it deals with ODBC etc. (including a few undocumented parameters such as SubType). This stops code that worked fine on 2000 from running etc.

Good luck.

Michael,

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Some of the samples require a little work, but it's definately worth looking at if you're interested in automation.
