Dear Majon,

We have developed a nice solution for the integration between Oracle and Microsoft Word.
You can download our product SQLWord at  www.sequel.nl 

SQLWord is an advanced Reportwriter integrating Oracle and Microsoft Word.
You can create your own standardletters, contracts and any other reports using the data of a Oracle database within a Microstoft Word document.

Sincerely,

Sequel Solutions

We've got the following problem:
we have to generate a large amount of reports on a oracle database. Partly
they are really complex, so I need the functionality of more than one repeating frame etc. The only (and very big) problem is, that the customer wants to edit the report after generating in MS-Word. I tried different possibilities like generating the report in MS-Access using ODBC, using VB(A)...but mostly they  don't have the needed functionality. Generating the report using the oracle report builder only leaves the rtf-Format for dataexchange with word. The problem is, that sometimes Word doesn't open this format, and every textfield in the report is in a frame in word so that editing is nearly impossible because every frame must be resized and moved. Oracle knows about this problem, but they will not work on a solution during                     the next year(s). Microsoft won't be helpful either because they want us to use SQL-Server or something like that. But there must be someone who already solved this problem. Perhaps writing an own converter to MS-Word doc-format or using a third party product. If anyone could help me or knows someone who perhaps knows something about this problem, please answer.

Thanx

MaJon
