Hi Don,

We use Brian Leach's MVpdf to print our forms direct from universe.

http://www.brianleach.co.uk/mvpdf.htm

It's great value and works a treat.

Subject: [U2] Populating Excel Templates from UniVerse

Hello All:



Just wondering what methods would be suggested for populating Excel
templates (invoices, work orders, etc.) with data from UniVerse.  Weve
run
into problems with the newer HP printers no longer supporting PCL
commands
and are looking for alternative forms printing options.



Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We just WRITESEQ to a .csv or .flv file and then open it with Excel.

I've exported text files that populate a template with a manually-run
macro.  That works pretty well as long as the user is willing to run
the macro and as long as she doesn't upgrade Office!

I've exported spreadsheets using perl scripts and the writeexcel modules.

I've exported PDF using perl and the PDF API.  I highly recommend this
as my users can print the PDF, throw it away, forward it to a
supplier, etc.

'Reform' is a great product, that I'm not associated with.  I know of quite
a few companies that use this and just love it.
