Hi,

With Oracle Forms 4.5, I use an OLE Automation server (Word basic) :

DECLARE
   obj OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
   my_arglist OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
   my_arglist := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
   OLE2.ADD_ARG( my_arglist, 'bonjour' );

   obj := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ ('Word.Basic');

   OLE2.INVOKE (obj, 'Insert', my_arglist );
   OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ( obj );
   OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST( my_arglist );

END; That works fine, but it 's very simple. I'd like to know how I could use more complex OLE commande with parameters, for
instance, open a winword document (where the parameter is '.name = "c:\file" ' ).
I have tried like that but it does not work at all :

DECLARE
   obj OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
   my_arglist OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
   my_arglist := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
   OLE2.ADD_ARG( my_arglist, '.name = ' );    OLE2.ADD_ARG( my_arglist, 'c:\file.doc' );

   obj := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ ('Word.Basic');

  OLE2.INVOKE (obj, 'FileOpen', my_arglist );
  OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ( obj );
  OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST( my_arglist );

END; Where can I find a book about OLE with Form 4.5 ?
