How to check OLE ?

[driessen]

Hello,

I use OLE to build a connection between my appliction and MS-Word.

I make the OLE-connection when my application is started. The Word-window becomes active when necessary. If I quit my application, the OLE-connection is broken en Word is closed.

So far so good, except when the use closes Word manually.

How can I check if the OLE-connetion is still OK ? Be careful : just checking if Word is opened, is not good enough. Word can be opened by the user manually which doesn't repair the OLE-connection.

Thanks a lot in advance

I think you should follow one of two ways:

1. is your app that creates, fills, prints and closes the document.

2. as point 1 but your app doesn't close the document but shows it and leaves the rest to the user.

Enrico,

My application creates, fills, prints and closes the document.

Thanks.

Then what is the problem? Your user will not see the document at all and will cannot close it.
