MS-WORD 6.0 WLL & ODBC DLL Add-Ins

MS-WORD 6.0 WLL & ODBC DLL Add-Ins

Post by Chris McK » Thu, 12 Oct 1995 04:00:00



Hi,

Has anyone had problems with the wbodbc.wll add in for Word 6.0 ?.

Firstly I had problems connecting to a ODBC DataSource (Borland Interbase),
although I have no problems getting to it with a Borland C++ prog.

MS gives you the source to wbodbc.wll with the Office Development Kit to
'customise' for various odbc drivers, but if I compile this, without changes,
under MSVC v1.5, then Word crashes with a GPF in the the wll when I attempt
to access it.

Do I need to compile this with v2.0 of MSVC ?, the makefile out of the box
failed under v1.5.

Thanks in Advance
Chris

I used it as-is and it worked fine.  Used it to connect to a MS Access 2.0
database (that's probably why :-)  Can't help you with the re-compile
though, I decided to dump ODBC for IDAPI.
