Forms 10g is web deployed so OLE2 will run on the application server not on the client. Therefore, you will need to configure your Application Server to use WebUtil and use the WebUtil Client_OLE package instead. If you test your form by running it from the Forms Builder, then you will need to configure your Forms Builder for WebUtil as well.

No, OLE2 will still work on the Application Server (AS) - provided your AS is Windows and you have the Office program installed.

With a Non-Windows Application Server, you will have to use WebUtil to interact with the Client Office product.

As to the coding, there are numerous examples of how to use WebUtil on the Internet so I'll not re-list anything here. Smile

To successfully configure WebUtil, take a look at the following Forms Help Topics:
1. Configuring WebUtil
2. Runtime Setup Checklist

I recommend you print the "Runtime Setup Checklist" and then using the Configuring WebUtil article to complete each step in the checklist.

I'm going to refer you to the many examples of using WebUtil with MS-Word that already exist on the Internet. There are really good demos out there that explain everything in pretty good detail.

1. open the form builder and attache webutil.pll
2. copy the block of webutil
3. copy the canvas for the webutil block these are copy from anthor form
4. put a button and past the code like

declare
arg_list client_ole2.list_type;
document client_ole2.obj_type;
documents client_ole2.obj_type;
application client_ole2.obj_type;
BEGIN
clear_record;
clear_message;
-- application := client_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('WORD.APPLICATION');

arg_list := client_ole2.create_arglist;
documents := client_ole2.invoke_obj (application, 'documents');
client_ole2.add_arg (arg_list, 'C:\maha.DOC');
document := client_ole2.invoke_obj (documents, 'Open', arg_list);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist (arg_list);
client_ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (documents);
exception
when others then

Have you completed the WebUtil configuration?

Please check the Java Console to see if there are any Java Exceptions being thrown. To view the Java Console, just right-click on the Java Icon in the System Tray and select Java Console. WebUtil relies on the JACOB (Java COm Bridge) to perform he OLE actions on the client so if it is not working, most likely there is a Java Exception occurring.

I strongly recommend you read the following Forms Help Topics on WebUtil:
1. Introduction to WebUtil
2. WebUtil User's Guide
3. Using WebUtil in Your Applications
4. Functions in WebUtil

You can write to the Word document using the "CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY()" method. For example:

CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(selection, 'Text', :YOUR_BLOCK.Your_Item);

Yes, you can send output to Word from your form. I gave you the method that lets you write to word through the CLIENT_OLE2 package. I'm not going to write the code for you. You need to look at your code and decide where is the best place to add the call to the CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY() method. (Hint: right after you destroy your argument list...)

As I have mentioned, there are plenty of examples of how to do this already published on the Internet. Take some initiative and search the Internet and read these articles.

You're on your own (YOYO) from here.
