Word Perfect Interface

[Jackie]

I am working on an application that interfaces with Word Perfect. Data is gathered from a form and the following code is executed: <br>
<br>
Set o = CreateObject(&quot;Wordperfect.Perfectscript&quot,1,1<br>
o.filenew<br>
o.fileinsert (CurDir() + &quot;\docs\memo.wpd&quot,1,1<br>
<br>
I am unclear as to what filenew and fileinsert represent. I searched the code to see if these were procedures or functions and did not find any existance of the code except for these statements.<br>
<br>
These statements appear after the above code:<br>
o.bookmarkfind(&quot;coord&quot<br>
o.Type (lcmemcoord)<br>
<br>
I believe this is where the Access variables are plugged into the WP bookmarks. I am unclear on the Bookmarkfind and Type commands.<br>
<br>
I reviewed a sample of an Access to Word interface and it references methods specific to Word. Is the above code the same situation as Access to Word?<br>
<br>
Any information would be very much appreciated.

I tried to get Word Perfect 6.1 to work with Access and had NO luck. It had no way to connect to any external database at all. <br>
<br>
I'm not sure if the new version (of WP) has a better database capability or not.<br>
<br>
Might I suggest that you see if Word Perfect can Mail merge to a Access or ODBC database.<br>
In Word this is done by mail merging to an existing data source rather than creating a new one.<br>
Also with Word you can connect to a query in Access so you can narrow down the amount of data brought over.<br>
Thats the approach I have used with Word and Access for several years.<br>

This code is based on Word Perfect 8.0. I am researching whether it worked prior to be the application not being used.
