HI, this can be handle in different ways.....
one of them is create two buttons and one text item on u'r form..all r non data base
first button is to search u'r word file
second button to open that file in Ms word
and text item to read the path...
code is:
first button code
DECLARE
save_path varchar2(100);
BEGIN
save_path := GET_FILE_NAME
(NULL,
NULL,
'file name (*.DOC)|*.DOC|',
'Enter the name of file',
open_file,
TRUE);
:path:= save_path;
END;
second button code
DECLARE
ARG0 OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
WORD.PAPER := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('WORD.BASIC');
OLE2.INVOKE(WORD.PAPER,'AppMaximize');
ARG0 := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(ARG0,:PATH);
OLE2.INVOKE(WORD.PAPER,'FileOpen',ARG0);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(ARG0);
END;
I think this will help u

Hello,
I am new to forms. I tried to do your example. I created a button on a form with code
DECLARE
ARG0 OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
WORD.PAPER := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('WORD.BASIC');
OLE2.INVOKE(WORD.PAPER,'AppMaximize');
ARG0 := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(ARG0,'D:\ex1.doc');
OLE2.INVOKE(WORD.PAPER,'FileOpen',ARG0);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(ARG0);
END;
I receive the following error: 'identifier WORD.PAPER must be declared'
Who is 'WORD.PAPER'? A variable I have to declare previously?
thank you
daniela
