- We've just bought a copy of the VB professional toolkit (which
- I heartily recommend). One of the custom tools which it
- provides is an OLE client, allowing a VB application to embed
- or link to OLE objects.
-
- What we'd really like to do is to have a Visual Basic application
- act as an OLE *server* - we want to generate data in VB and
- embed it into Word using OLE.
-
- I've got a copy of the MSJ article on writing OLE servers, but it'd
- be a lot of work to write a new control to implement this. I was
- wondering: has anyone out there written or come across an OLE server
- control?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
