Nadya,

Perhaps Fabio could use your report to test with?

Fabio: FYI


>Hi Fabio,
>
>I've ran the test on my work machine. Sample file is 40KB, but there is nothing in it (I scrolled in all directions and the file has 2 pages with nothing).
>
>I have Windows 95 and Word 97 - SR1 at work.
>
>I tried yesterday at home. (Windows 98 + Word 2000, no printer installed). I installed generic printer driver and then ran the test. I'm afraid, I pressed the button few times, because it doesn't seem to do anything at the beginning.
>BTW, suggestion: add a wait window immediatelly in button click and activate progress bar immediatelly. After it's finished, give a messagebox with "Finished". Allow ESC interruption from the beginning of the process (not only after progress bar appears).
>
>Anyway, after I've done it, my husband opened Word. The font was somehow different, than it was originally. So, he closed the file without saving and un-installed the printer. Then font goes back to normal, but vertical scroll bar was gone. Fortunately, we were able to restore it back from menu Options...

>The sample.doc was empty (0 bytes).

>>Another users perform the same test with success, You can try eliminate or rename normal.dot. Also check where the file must be generated.
>>
>>The languages distinction is a nice suggestion. I can create a method returning the error in English and the user can change this method for his needs. What do you think?
>>
>>The CHM file was written in the past by Jeff Bowman. But I take the task to me. No matter at all. But thank you for your suggestions.

>>>Favio,

>>>Your sample program works, but when doing my own tests, I get a 0-byte Word file. Do you have any explanation why this can happen? (Return code = 0 - no error). I am using Word 97.
>>>
>>>Additional comments:
>>>
>>>1) I suggest including #DEFINEs for the error codes, preferably in several languages. I offer to provide the Spanish (L.A.) translation if you are interested. Another alternative would be to provide a property with the error text, to be invoked like this:
>>>
>>>

>>>nError = oFrx.ReportForm(...)
>>>if nError < 0
>>>  MessageBox(oFrx.ErrorText)
>>>endif
>>>

>>>
>>>2) I believe it is too much trouble to maintain documentation in two different formats, and suggest keeping only one - DOC or CHM.
