Well, Word automation is basically unsupported by Microsoft so you might
have trouble finding a good solution.  Someone posted on here earlier
today about an XML solution for generating Word docs.  You may want to
look at that.

John,

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue.
Yeah, Google has been my friend for many years.  Even as I posted this
question on CF-Talk, I had downloaded and evaluated a couple of
off-the-shelf solutions for generating the BarCodes that I needed.  I
can even invoke one of them through CF.

But like I said, that is only half the battle.  I need to be able to
embed the generated code into an existing Word Doc, via CF.  That's
something I don't know how to do.  All the googling, ends up with VB
solutions.  Even when I contacted tech-support for one of the software
vendors, they responded with a VB solution.  I'm not a VB guru, and
don't know much about writing ActiveX objects, or using the OLEViewer to
decipher all the hex codes and various and sundry variables that I would
need to manipulate were I to use CF to access it.

Oh well, this horse is pretty much dead.  I'll walk away.

If anyone's interested I can email them off-list if I come up with a CF
interface that does what I need.

Otherwise, thanks all, and good night,
Ali
