Word document in forms 6i

Hi,
I need to open a word template when the user selects a template from the list box. The template is having bookmarks and I need to pass the field values into those book marks when the user opens the template. Then, the user should be able to edit, save, print the template and when he closes it, he should be able to come back to the application. In the background I need to save the word template in the database.
How to do this?
thanks,
anuradha

You can embed and OLE object like Word into Forms but this is a client/server only solution.
Take a look at the online help for OLE and OLEobjects.

Viewing word documents through forms

Hi Guys,
I am using forms 10g and webutil to transfer documents (only word
documents are working now, pdf isn't. Don't know why
yet) from the client machine and storing them in the
database tru forms. How can I view the stored document
tru forms? The column data type is BLOB.
Regards,

Francois,
I looked at that paper and it helped me greatly in getting my file transfer to work to upload files from the client to the database (BLOB column). I looked over the information on the webutil_docs dialog but I am not sure I understand how to implement the feature to allow users to edit files that have been stored as BLOBs. Can you give a quick and dirty recipe for getting this set up? Is it a standard part of the webutil package?

Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

MS Word documents in forms/oracle database

How does one store a word document in the database. Should be able to store the binary file and be able to retrieve it by launching MS word. Can we use BLOB. If so how to store a file into a BLOB column and how to retrieve that when required in forms 6i?
I do not want to use OLE.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Tapas

Use long raw datatype. And use OLE concepts through application

Storing/Editing Word Documents in Forms 6i

Has anyone done this in 6i ?
Apparently, the only solution is to write some JavaBeans. Has anyone done this and are there any samples that would allow us to do this other than the samples on Technet as unfortunately they do not help much.
It seems as though this is a fairly common request so I am hoping that someone has done it and will be able to help.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.
Andy Penver

Thanks,
I think it is better to use LOB's instead of LONGRAW in 8.1.6 ?
Can you edit formatted text (WORD document) if it is stored in a CLOB or BLOB datatype.
Has anyone got any pointers to examples of storing formatted text and being able to edit it.
Thanks

Converting a Word document with form fields to become a form fillable PDF file with email

We are trying to convert a number of word(97,and 2000) documents but it never works correctly. The converted PDF file is missing fields and the fields it does convert is one character long. The idea was to have LiveCycle just convert it without anyone having the need to re-design it. They would only need to add a submit button and an email address to the PDF form. Is there something we are missing?

For the problem of submitting by email and still submitting a PDF file:
The stock "Submit by Email" button submits via XML. I think you can do one of two things to get it to work:
1) Use a regular "Button" instead of an "Email Submit Button". Set it's type to "Submit" in the Field tab; then on the Submit tab, use something like "mailto:name@company" for your email address in the Submit To URL box, and set the Submit As type to PDF.
2) Change the XML for your Email Submit button (in the XML Source view): You'll find something like,
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:name@company"/>
</event>
Change it to:
<event activity="click" name="event__click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" target="mailto:name@company"/>
</event>
I don't know if you need to change just the "Submit format" in the XML, or also add the xdpContent tag.
Hope that works,
Mike

Word Documents and Forms 6

Hi.
I have spent the past three weeks reading forums and doco's from
anywhere and everywhere on the web, and am battling to come up
with a proper solution to my problem.
I am currently storing office documents in a BLOB field in an 8i
database. I use an OLE container bound to the BLOB field in the
database to insert these documents from the client into the
database using a forms 6 form, and this seems to be fine. Where
the problem comes in is being able to retrieve these documents
from the database and display them as an icon on a form so that
users of my system will be able to edit and download these
documents which are stored in the database. I want to allow them
to click on the icon (which is a link to the document in the
database) which will then launch the appropriate office product
and allow them to do whatever they have to from there.
Are there any suggestions as to how I can acheive this? I am
really stumped here, and any help here would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.
Craig.

How to open a Word document in forms

Hi all ,
I need to open a document( MS Word) while clicking a button from forms.Will u please help me to do that ?
Regards,
Nycy

CLIENT_HOST will only help you if the file is accessible from the client's filesystem. If you put the documents on the server there are three options:
1. Transfer the file to the client everytime if should be opened using WEBUTIL_FILE.AS_TO_CLIENT lets say to c:\temp, then open it using CLIENT_HOST as provided by Francois.
2. Share the directory on the application server to that it can be accessed via UNC-path like \\server\document.doc and use CLIENT_HOST directly on the network dirve
3. Create a virtual directory in the application server and map it to the physical directory where the doc's are located, then you can access the documents via URL and can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT instaed of CLIENT_HOST.
hope this helps.

PARALLEL WORK IN AN OPENED WORD DOCUMENT AND FORMS 9i

Hello,
Our customer want to have an enhanced integration of the Forms application and
MS Word. Currently, he opens an existing Word-file from a Forms form, MS Word
opens, he edits the Word file, closes it, and goes back to the Forms
application.
The point is, that while the Word file is being opened, he wants to be able to
go back to the Forms application do some necessary things, and then go back to
MS Word where his word file is "waiting". Actually, he needs the possibility to
switch between Forms 9i application and MS Word.
The integration with MS Word is being done using WebUtil 1.0.6. The call to MS
Word is done using WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking. I also tried to call MS Word using
CLIENT_OLE2-Procedures but again I'm not able to go back to the Forms
application.
Is it somehow possible or is there any workaround how to enable the "parallel"
work in Forms application and MS Word?
Thank,
Dimce

Hi Dimce,
Okay. approach in the right direction. In order to get forms to wait executing the trigger code while in non-blocking mode, create a callback scenario. This is out-of-the-box webutil functionality (please read the webutil manual for details).
In short,
1) create a callback trigger at forms level
2) move all code that fires after you call MS Word to the call back trigger. This code is then executed whenever MS Word is calling back to forms.
3) use webutil_host.nonblocking_with_callback instead.
Regards,
Harm

How to open Word document in Forms Web Version

In the Client-Server version of Forms 6i, we open a Word template by executing the Host command like below,
host('WINWORD.EXE'||' '||ltrim(rtrim(v_new_filename)));
How do I execute the same in Web version to open the Word template?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have gone thorugh the examples on OTN. Here's my requirements :
In our case we are opening a Word template file from the server machine, making some changes, and saving it back to the server machine. The name of the template file, the location to be saved is all internally handled by forms. In the client-server version, allthe user does is hit the Save button and close the Word application.
In the Web version, I can open the template file in the browser from the server. The user makes the changes & is then prompted to save it to his client machine. After that the user closes the browser & then has to click on a save button which moves the file from the client machine to the server.
This extra process of saving the Word file to the client machine bothers me as the users can make changes/delete the file on their own before hitting the Save button on the form. BTW, I have borrowed the code mostly from the OTN website.
So is there any way to avoid this step to saving to the client m/c and then moving it to the server. Thanks.
I am running forms 6i on 9iAS on WIN 2000.
