[AccessD] Semi OT - Word automation question.

Hi Bobby

I use code, but the OCX control can be used as well - it is much easier
too, and still way faster than the Word deroute.

Gustav,

I hadn't thought about that.  I might look into that.  Do you use a
rich
text box in access, then cut and paste?  Or do you just build a string
and
paste?

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby

To me two seconds sounds pretty fine for this; automation isn't that
fast.

However, if it is a simple document, you can write the rtf code
directly to
a text file which is blazingly fast. I created a routine for writing a
catalogue file of 2.500 pages. It needs less than 45 seconds to write
these
and the file is only about 8 MB due to the very compact rtf code.
