FORMS_OLE and OLE2 Packages working with Word6

I have the following problem:
When I define an ORACLE table-field of type LONG RAW and access it via Forms 4.5 I'm (at least for the moment) not able to modify that object via OLE-Automation.
The details:
I defined a Forms 4.5-item of type OLE-Container and initialized
it with a (more or less empty) Word6 document. The OLE class property
of the item remained to NULL.
The next commands (behind a button) were:
forms_ole.activate_server ('ole_item_name'); doc:= forms_ole.get_interface_pointer ('ole_item_name');
Now, when I tried to send WordBasic commands to that document, e.g.
OLE2.Invoke (doc, 'Insert', arglist);
I had no success.
I think, it has to do with the OLE-Class type of the item.
When I use the
OLE2.create_object (serverType)
function to create a new file-based Word document, I have to use the
server-type "Word.Basic" instead of "Word.Document", otherwise I can't
manipulate the document. Doing the same with the OLE-Class type of the
item
(=Word.Basic) the stored Word documents are no longer accessible.
Who can help me? Where's my mistake ? Received on Tue May 28 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
