Copied from our setup instructions for scheduled processes running Progress programs which do the type of task you describe above: ... 11. Run the Windows program Dcomcnfg.exe and ensure that the new user has access to launch the automation object for Word. Detailed instructions are listed...

We have had a similar problem with Windows Server 2008 and OpenEdge 10.2B - have not gotten to the bottom of it, since it doesn't occur consistently in our environment. It occurs when a user logs into our Progress software application. It may be related to some code we have in our startup...

The thread mentioned on PSDN appears to have a different URL now - when I click on the link I just get the main PSDN page. Any chance of an update? We are struggling with this right now.

We had this; it turned out to be a problem with the Windows installation. We had to repair it (Google "repair Windows installation") and then everything worked perfectly.

We have had the same problem; at one point (don't remember which Progress version, but it was HP-UX) we tracked it down to Windows and Unix handling CR and LF differently, and this somehow messing things up. We never could get it to work with Progress Explorer, now we use the Management Console...

Try adding in chWordApplication:Quit() no-error before you release the handle. Also, I would leave the whole thing as visible and see what happens when you run your code. Word may have some little dialogue box up which is preventing the close. Good luck! Anne

Our solution (after 2 years of struggle) for using Crystal Report Viewer XI with a dynamic XML data source, without requiring a full Crystal Developer install on the client machine (very pricey!): Install Java, if not already installed (check C:\Program Files\java) Open Internet Explorer Go to...

We're currently trying to switch our application from using Microsoft Word to OpenOffice Writer. So far, all has gone smoothly (no problems changing from Excel to Calc, BTW), except that I can't figure out how to have my Progress code (10.1C) notified when the Writer document is saved or when...

Good info - thanks for posting! Anne

Thank you all for the advice/ideas. Tom writes "Use an app server call to put report requests in the queue. Run the server queue as a batch process on the server (connect self-service for best performance). You could also create status checks and all sorts of exciting functionality like that...

We have an application which works with a stateless appserver, minimum of 2 servers, maximum of 5. We may have 100 users making calls to the appserver. (Please excuse me if my terminology is not 100% correct - hope you can figure out what I'm asking here) Using information gleaned from a...

I created an account and logged in, but can't see how to do it. Not really an intuitive user interface. Looks like a useful site, though; will be visiting it the next time I get stuck ... Anne

Our company, Great Valley Technologies, wanted to provide a faxing solution for our clients (medical offices) which would a) seamlessly integrate with our Progress product b) require no hardware/software installation c) scale well (price-wise) for clients ranging from a single-doctor office up...

Try this: ch-WordApplication:ActiveDocument:saveas(lv-filename,0). where lv-filename is a variable containing the name of the file to which you want to save.

Or do this (which works even if data is saved with the report): define variable i as integer no-undo. define variable sItem as character no-undo. define variable sLoc as character no-undo. ... chReport = chApplication:OpenReport("sample.rpt",1). chReport:discardSavedData. /* set tables...
