Open Number document with template chooser

Hi
I have written a script that merges an address book group to a numbers document. I would like it to automatically open a Numbers document preferably with a chosen template (this would help with a label script).
If Numbers is not set to open through the template choser, Yvan Koenig's new document script works great (thanks Yvan). But it does not work with the template chooser activated. Is there a way to script the template chooser?

Unfortunately, no. Pages will always open up with something, either a blank document, a document you create, or an Apple template.

How can I open a document with applescript without the doc. window opening.

How can I open a document with applescript without opening the document window and speak the text of the document? I can get it to open the file but the doc window always opens up.

try
          set pathToMyFolderOnDesktop to ("Macintosh HD:Users:jodyconnor:Desktop:") & "Dsource:" as alias
          set rnd to (random number from 1 to 6)
          set rndFileName to (rnd as text) & ".scpt"
          set FullPath to pathToMyFolderOnDesktop & rndFileName as text
          set myScript to load script (FullPath as alias)
run script myScript
on error the error_message number the error_number
          display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          return
end try
This code answered my question: Hats off to Digimonk from stackoverflow and Darrick Herewe from stackoverflow.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

Opening a document with its default application on the client

In 6i I use Win_API_Shell.StartFile("path\file", WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL, TRUE);
to open a document with it's default windows application. How is this done in 10g?
Do I use webutil? and could someone supply me an example. Again, the document
would be on the local machine, or a mapped drive, not on the app server.
I know I could probably use client_host('start ....') but is there a better way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
In Forms 10g you have to use webutil for this. No way...
Why do you think that client_host ( 'cmd /C start path\file.sfx' )
or
webutil_host.nonblocking ( 'cmd /C start path\file.sfx' ) is not a good way?

Opening Word documents with Appleworks

I often receive Word documents as email attachments (though my hotmail account). I can download these Word documents to my desktop but when I click on them to open them I get an offer to purchase MS Word (which I do not have). I would like to be able to simply open the Word documents with Apple works--and I am hoping I can just click on them and have that happen automatically. But it doesn't. I have tried opening Appleworks and going into the wordprocessing program and then opening the Word document through that, but it only is successful part of the time. What can I do? I would like to have these Word douments open automatically in Appleworks but every time I click on them (i.e., their icon on my desktop) I get that advertisement from Microsoft asking me to buy Word. Is this ad blocking a normal function of Appleworks that would otherwise allow me to open Word documents with a click? And in any case, how can I proceed?

The ad for Word is almost certainly being tacked on through or at Hotmail (taglines or adware from Hotmail? Hoodathunk .....) ; it sure isn't coming from AppleWorks or from anything on your own system, unless you have that demo copy of Office still lurking somewhere. I suppose it could come from that, somehow.
Assuming you can get a clean attachment downloaded to your Desktop from Hotmail, the procedure for having what you want to happen automatically is fairly straightforward and, really, has nothing at all to do with Appleworks. Try the following:
--> Select (highlight) one of those downloaded .doc files from Word, then
--> use the Finder's Get Info command (⌘-I). In the window which appears,
--> see the "Open with" section, and set it to AppleWorks.

Why can't I open a document with the password

why can't I open a document with the said right password!!!! !

Hi Anthony,
What problem are you facing in opening the document? Is there any error message?
I would recommend you to try again and as passwords are case sensitive so please make sure that you type the password in exactly same case sequence as you did when you set the password.

Rahul

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers as Snow Leopard does?

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers like Snow Leopard does? Or do I have to convert all my Appleworks files before installing Lion?

Functionality of Pages and Numbers has little to do with whether it's runnong on Snow Leopard or Lion. Either way, if they open an AppleWorks document in SL, they'll open it in Lion. Of course, you have to understand that certain file types - particularly, AppleWorks databases - cannot be opened with anything other than AppleWorks, so you'll need to convert them with AppleWorks before upgrading to Lion.

Reconciling open GRPO documents with GL

Has anyone reports or methods to reconcile the value of open GRPO documents with the value in the general ledger GRNI account?
I've always found the lack of a report a big limitation. The obvious problem is that the open GRPO documents might be Service or have non-stock Items, neither of which affect the GL.
I've asked similar questions before but not really got anywhere. I'm hoping that someone's got something new.
Regards,
Douglas

I am trying to tell users how they can reconcile open GRPOs with the GL balance for GRNI. This would be something that they would do routinely, say every month, so it's not just a one-time exercise. (I am using the word reconcile in this sense to mean compare to or check against. I don't mean Business One's Internal Reconciliation function.)
This is very similar to what an accountant would do to reconcile (compare) the Debtors (Sales) to the GL. The accountant would run an Aged Debtors report to see the open balance on the debtors (customer) documents then compare that to the balance on the Debtors Control Account in the general ledger. For Debtors, you would expect that they would be exactly the same.
The problem with GRPOs, as you know, is that not all the values on the GRPOs go onto the GL. So the question is, how can you reconcile the two, i.e check one against the other?
For me, this is a big omission in the way that Business One works, and I keep hoping that someone has come up with a technique. We keep getting asked this question by users.
Regards,
Douglas

You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.
