Re: Interface with Word

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Have you tried Operations Navigator?  Is has a great GUI interface to
entering data into a database.  Much like you would enter data into a
spreadsheet.  You could have them key into a temporary file.  Build a
trigger on this temporary file which would post into the regular file.  The
trigger would edit the data.

Does anyone know if you can build an icon to use the Op's Nav database
function into a particular database directly?  Let me rephrase this.  I
click on an icon and it pulls up the gui db entry for a particular
database.

My shop is basically all RPGIII, RPGIV and green screens. Each user has a
PC
desktop running Microsoft products and  Rumba as the emulator on a TCP/IP
network. I am looking for away a user can key a large volume of text and
tie
it to an RPG program via a CMD key. We currently have a database that has a
field devoted to the text and we display that back to them with RPG. As you
know that is cumbersome and does not work very well in our case because we
need spell check, different fonts and special formatting.

I am looking for some option that might interface with Microsoft's Word in
such a way that the user can hit a CMD key the program can check a table
and
retrieve the appropriate word document and display it back to the user. I
like the idea of Word because my users are  familiar with it. However, If
there are other products that are GUI base that will work I am interested
in
those also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
