Re: Printing/Maintaining Word Document on Report

Hi Bob !

    I understood your problem this way:

        o You have Invoice, Purchase Orders, etc. in the database
        o You have Standard Terms&Conditions in MS-Word-Documents
        o You want join both information
     If that's right, I suggest to:

       1. Don't use Report-Writer, use DDE-Communication with MS-Word
          instead
       2. or Don't use MS-Word, store Terms&Conditions also in the
          database (or hardcoded in the Report) and print everything via
          ReportWriter
