Re: Calling Word Macros from Ole2.Invoke. Possible??

Hi Adrian,

Yeah, I was aware of the Ole2 problems with Forms 5.0 in Developer/2000 Release 2.0. I am actually using a pre-release version of Developer/2000 Release 2.1 (Forms 5.0.6.4.1 - Beta) to attempt to circumvent all the Ole2 problems. Ole2.Invoke appears to be working again, however I'm unsure if the "Call" WordBasic command can be invoked through Ole2.Invoke.

Has anyone done this??

Cheers,
Rod.
