List,
Has anybody had the opportunity to retrieve .xls data from OW? The client
is running XE on NT and would like the ability to attach a SO request in
Excel as an OLE in Media Objects and then automagically retrieve the
information in the Excel file to a custom OW APPL. I have looked in BSFNs
and at media object functionality and do not see anything promising.
I have looked into the OLE media object system functions but have yet to
figure out how they work (anyone know?), and can't find documentation in KG.
I would also be interested in how you might approach this problem. Two
current ideas are:
1) Cut from Excel and Paste into a Headerless/Detail form.
2) Export to delimited flat file and write TC UBE to input data to OW.
I'm sure that writing a C BSFN is also an option.
Hope you can help.
