--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we are currently using webutil to merge data from Oracle into a Word Template. Word is never actually seen by the end user...the Word Doc is just printed out on the users local printer.

However this is causing errors....

I want to find a solution that enables us to do this without the need for Word on the server.

I've looked at WordWriter by Softartisans but the system requirements are a problem...

We would prefer to use existing Word templates but I'm considering/researching the possibility of outputting the file as a .pdf or postscript...

Any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers

....unfortunately I do not know what errors occur using webutil....I hope to find out soon.

However it seems it may be better doing this on the server using ORDCOM.

Can anyone please provide futher info on this. And would others agree ORDCOM is my best bet?

I have spoken to my manager...and apparently problems have occurred in the past using COM components. I am continuing to investigate.....but if anyone has any further comments or suggestion I would appreciate it.

Thanks
