Hello–

I remember a thread a while back about using Business Objects for labels, but has anyone tried (with any success?) using BusObj for form letter generation?

Thanks,
Amy Miller

Hi Amy;

I would use OLE automation to automate Word. There is an example on my WEB site: www.bobooks.com.
The example is called Label Generator.

This should be no Problem at all, you could use BO to retrieve the info from DB, export to some Word-importable format and write it in Word OR
You can create a form directly in BO and popuklate it with data from the DB. This is like any other BO report.
(You know, you can rearrange all cells in a report to any layout…)
