[Javascript] Manipulating office documents in IE

[Peter Brunone]

Hi Troy,

   Yeah, I've been able to do all kinds of things like that with Excel and Word... this part where I need to manipulate an already-open document is the kicker.  Of course, even so, the only print method I can find is PrintOut(), which sends the whole thing to the queue without giving the user a chance to change anything.

Cheers,

Peter

Hello Peter,
It is possible I believe, to create on the fly the exel document, enter some 
data, format that data and even print it using proper commands in JS, but 
not sure if you can manipulate it after you've loaded it in a frame with 
html link. There has been years that I didn't use scripts for creating or 
oppening documents other than html. But if you call exell object through the 
script I believe that you will be abble to manipulate it in any way you like 
using FSO.
