>I'm trying to upgrade an application I wrote to send information to MS Word to work better with Office 97. The scant documentation that I found said that I could create a word application object then control it with VB for Applications methods. I use the object browser in MS Word to get the syntax and values for the constants but I can't seem to get some things to work. Here is the code I'm using:
>
>loTest = createobject("word.application")
>lodoc = lotest.documents.add("d:\cust\penski\apps32\data\report01.dot")
>loTest.visible = .t.
>
> lotest.selection.EndKey(6)
> lotest.selection.Font.Size = 12
> lotest.Selection.InsertBefore("Date goes here") &&() && DateTimeFormat:="MMMM d, yyyy", InsertAsField:= _False
> lotest.Selection.InsertDateTime() &&() && DateTimeFormat:="MMMM d, yyyy", InsertAsField:= _False
> loTest.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1 && "wdAlignParagraphCenter"
> loTest.Selection.InsertParagraph()
> loTest.Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 0
> loTest.Selection.InsertParagraph()
>
>wait window
>lotest.activate
>wait window
>lotest.quit
>rele loTest
>return
>
>Everything works EXCEPT the "InsertDateTime" command. What I'm really looking for is:

There is an article in the MS Knowledge base called "Converting VBA to VFP and Using OLE". It pretty much lays out the rules for the syntax. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up for you.
