Description

Why "another" Office product you might ask? Primarily because for the first time Clarion is now able to access COM components without the performance / stability hits we experienced in the past. With those obstacles out of the way, there is now room for a product that makes it really easy to implement Office functionality into your apps without having to spend substantial amounts of time learning new technologies or tweaking your code. Want to add spell-checking?Two minutes. Want to generate editable Word documents from all your existing reports? Two minutes. Drop it in, and compile. When new versions of MS Office are released, download the latest version of Office Inside, recompile, and ship. That's why!

Features

Take control of Microsoft Office from your app.  No stability issues, no learning curve, no "funny" data types, no worries.  At this time you can automate:

•  Microsoft Word
•  Microsoft Excel
•  Microsoft Outlook
