Re: create incremental .df file produces updates for char fields that want set decima Thank you for this tip. That works of course, but is very time consuming - we have to maintain about 10 production db's. Therefore, i am looking for a faster solution. And yes, it matters because every...

Re: create incremental .df file produces updates for char fields that want set decima Thank you for this suggestion, but this is not possible. In the meantime i tried to code a small progress script, that based on tables _file and _field creates a incremental .df file with update decimals...

Answer for interact with OpenOffice hi, i got the answer in another forum and the solution works fine with progress 9.1D. It works not with V8.3. Here is a simple code example: DO: DEFINE VARIABLE oService AS COM-HANDLE no-undo. DEFINE VARIABLE oDesktop AS COM-HANDLE NO-UNDO...

hi there, i want to create starOffice 6.0 filex (especially calc, writer) with a progress application. i am using 8.3a on winnt2000. Can anybody give me an example to do this ? Maybe it is even as simple as the usage of COM Objects for ms excel and word ? thanks in advance for your help...
