TsPlus and Outlook, Word

Hello to you all,

We use TsPlus with our WD program. Works fine.
The only problem is starting Word and Outlook on the client side. It opens on the server.

1) In TsPlus we have Open on client side for all the .doc and .docx extensions. But Word opens on the server.
2) We use ShellExecute("mailto:" + EdtEmailAdres) to open a new email. This also opens on the server side.

Who is using Tsplus and do you have the same problem (now and then)?

Thanks in advance,
Regards Frans

Hi,

You need put the code in "browser side".

1) ... But Word opens on the server.

What I did was open a browser with the url to the file and the browser itself opened the default application.
In browser code:BrowserOpen("[url];

2) We use ShellExecute("mailto:" + EdtEmailAdres) to open a new email. This also opens on the server side.
Put this this code in Browser, open your program

Best regards.

Hi Frans,

On the server go to file association, "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program". Look for .doc and .docx, Be sure that the current default is OpenOnclient.exe. You may have to do this on every user of the server, but sometimes this works for all users. Also look for .eml and do the same.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Aad

Hi Aad,

Thnaks for your answer.
But it does not always work. We did this as a user in Windows and the extensions also in TsPlus.
With no luck ....

Do you use the TSPlus client ? I assume you do, but one never knows

Hello Aad,

yes we do.

Frans

We do this with all MSOffice applications and it works OK. We create the XLS file (for example) but we have to put it in a web accessible folder. So we create a "temp" folder inside the TSPlus www folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\TSplus\Clients\www\TempFiles

We then copy the XLS file into that temp folder and then execute ShellExecute() on that XLS file in that folder.

Hello to you all,

We use it for merging a document with adresses and then we have command like:
MyWordObject>>ActiveDocument>>SaveAs(ParamNewDocName, 16)

I think this could be the problem.
Is there someone who is merging data in a word document and uses TsPlus?

Thanks in advance, regards Frans
