PB7, Word, and XP

2003-07-24T23:47:55Z

I have just taken over the support for an application that uses OLE,
to open word, and generate documents.
The application has been written in PB7.
What the application does, and where it is going wrong is.
It checks to see if Word is running, and if not starts it.
It then loads the document the user has asked for in to word.

PB 9 array passing to OLE component

2003-07-12T06:53:51Z

Found a way around the problem. If I declare my array as follows:

everything seems to work. I didn't know we could do that and I've been
using PB for 10+ years. You learn something new every day.
In PB7 you don't need to do this but you can. In PB9, it seems like you
have to do this to make it work.
