Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Automation Interface with Word 2003

« on: May 09, 2005, 10:28:33 am »

Hi,

Can I ask if people are using the sample Automation Interface (www.sparxsystems.com.au/bin/AutIntBas.zip) with Word 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1?

Word is crashing for me, and I'm working with Sparx Support to get this resolved.  But before they spend too much time on this, I wanted to see if there were others using this configuration successfully.

Thanks,
Gary

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Getting started...

Hi,

Can anyone clarify the instructions at:
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/AutIntVBSetup.htm

... in the case of MS Word?  I don't see a Tools -> References in Word 2003, nor do I see it in EA (4.50.747).

If it's Visual Basic that I'm missing, then can I still access EA objects from MS Word?   I've downloaded:
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/bin/AutIntBas.zip

In Word's Macro editor, it stops on "Dim rep As EA.Repository".    

Am I stuck unless I install Visual Basic?  If not, how do I tell Word about the EA methods?

TIA,
Gary

P.S.  Sorry the seemingly dumb question.  There's lots of docs on this in the EA on-line help and Forum posts... however, it's not getting through my thick skull.

P.P.S.  I'm not really looking for 'automation' per se.. I just want to get the class notes into a text file, reformatted to my specifications.  Basically, I've created a relational model from my class model, where the specializations are rows of data in a hiearchical table (i.e. with a recursive foreign key to itself).   I'd like to do a 'SQL INSERT' with my notes, but of course I need to escape the quotes and add the SQL*Plus continuation character at the end.  If there's a simpler way to get this data out of EA into a formatted text file, I would *love* to hear it!  Thanks again.

Hi,

I have no answer to this, but I wanted to point out to the general EA community that this functionality is desired by many.

One of my clients chose Objecteering over EA, because the former can define profiles with user-defined extensions, which is what my client wants to do (e.g. to enforce standards, or to generate spatially aware DB object definitions).

If this is planned for the future, it would be good for someone at EA to confirm this, so I can pass along this my   client.
