OLE

[driessen]

I use OLE the make a connection between my FiveWin-application and MS-Word.

Word is launched together with my application. If I close Word accidently, I got an error "Variant type not implemented from OLE GetProperty", followed by a GPF.

My question : how can I test that a OLE is running ?

Thank you.

Try to not showing Word:

oWord = CREATEOBJECT( "Word.Application" )

// your code here

oWord:Quit()

Thank you very much for you help, Enrico.

I was able to solve my problem.

You mentioned CREATEOBJECT. It must be CREATEOLEOBJECT.

What is CREATEOLEOBJECT()? I never heard or used it.

Enrico,

The function CreateObject() doesn't exist. I got an error while compiling.

You can look in the sample OLE.PRG where CreateOLEobject() is used.

Sorry Michel, now I know that OLE2.LIB offers CREATEOLEOBJECT() while xHarbour offers CREATEOBJECT(). I always used TOleAuto() with FW/Clipper and OLE2.LIB.

Enrico,

I need to build a connection between my FiveWin application and Outlook through OLE.

Have you any experience in this ?

Do you know where the instructions, to be used for Outlook, can be found ?

Thank you.

Search for VBA*.CHM in your hard disk.
