hi, i was wondering if anyone knew of a good reference regarding the code required to access and use external applications, particularly ms excell and ms word. i know the basics but cannot expand on this because i do not know the code (although i’ve guessed quite a bit of it!)
Any help would be great.
Cheers

do you mean working with ole-objects? if so, you’ll find a list in designer of all available objects with functions/methodes. (when lscript is available, switch tab from objects to reference).
regarding msword/excel: look for vba-help, or just create macros and have a look for created code, you can use this one without much changes in lscript…

Another good trick (especially with Word and Excel) is to use the object browser in the VBA editor. This will give you all of the objects, properties and methods. Coupled with the VBA help, you should be able to find all the info you need.
