My understanding is that these are already within access, and this is how the
Microsoft Office suite of programs talk to each other. The application I have
inherited did nothing special with Word, except use the Microsoft Office VB pack
that came with the VB compiler. This had all the necessary bits for VB to hook
into Word. As I understand the situation with Borland, they licensed the
necessary stuff from Microsoft, and have their own name for it. This would mean
you are using what is already in Access.
