Calling a third-party package from Quick...

[Mark Stewart]

Can't say I ever called Word from Quick let me know when you figure that one out but any way I did try the following:

I had some success using the following method:

SET DEFAULT
SET VERIFY ERRORS
SET NOVERIFY DELETE
SET REPORT SPACING 1
SET NOSPACE
SET NOFORMFEED
SET NOHEAD
SET REPORT NOLIMIT

DEFINE D_SEMI_COLON         CHAR*01 = ';'

define D_cr int*02 = 13

DEFINE D_CR2 CHARACTER SIZE 01 = CHARACTERS(D_CR)

;NOTE I HAD TO MAKE DATES AND DOLLAR AMOUNT ZERO/

REPORT SUMMARY
 D_DATE &
 D_SEMI_COLON &
 D_REP_LINE_1
 D_SEMI_COLON D_CR2

SET SUBFILE NAME TRY_IT KEEP PORTABLE NODICT

Open this file in Excel as a semi colon dilimited file and then same as .xls format.  Word can then use this as a merge source.  I only had a week to complete this so it may not be the best way.
