Hi

Does anyone know how to create powerpoints from a domino agent launched in the web (Solaris server)?

I just need a clue or a url to know where to begin my investigations. I know I can’t use OLE features because of the Solairs server. How can I then to create the powerpoint dinamically with data stored in my Domino (Solaris server) databases?

Not too easy.

Do you have ANY Microsoft Server?

If so, you could possibly go this way:

  1. set up IIS, Install Powerpoint

  2. have a ASP Program that uses OLE to create Powerpoints

  3. pass the Info of your Notes Docs via HTTP-GET (e.g. URL-Parameters ?par1=xx&par2=yy) to the ASP Program (e.g. Java Agent)

This is more a workaround than a solution…but maybe it helps
