Calling MS Word from within OScript (Server side)

Kevin_Lin

Is it feasible? We need launch a MS Word session, open a version file fetched from Livelink, make a few changes, save it and add it back to Livelink.

Recently there is a product called Transmittals which does this. If you have access to that module you should be able to see how OT does it.When the MS Word doc template is streamed to the client socket,oscript fills in a bunch of propertywriter lines and a macro embedded on the template fills some category info on the client.(It does work if you have the simple activex ,webdav or llexplorer installed on the client)As I said I just glanced curiously at the code I do not have any idea how all these work.My only intention was to leyt you know how to do it.Also 9.6 and up offers you a way to call a java class file from within oscript,so if you can make your java code do all the work.9.7.1 also allows you to do some webservices natively I am not very sure of what all you can do with it as well.
