Automation with Microsoft Works

[Yi]

I have a VB application that was developed with Word and Excel object model (XP). It opens a word document and updates some Excel worksheet objects embedded in this Word document. I wonder if this application can run with Microsoft Works. Or, does Microsoft Works support VBA and automation?

Many thanks in advance.

Dear Yi ,

Thank you for posting to a Microsoft Newsgroup.

Your question was "Does Microsoft Works support VBA and automation?"
unfortunately the answer is no. MS Work is geared for home users that need
a less featured and straightforward suite for word processing,
spreadsheets, and data collection. Thus by its very desing; MS Works
lightweight approach suits the intended audience very well. However, this
same design limits the addition of an automation infrastructure.Regards,

Probably not, but you'll need to ask in microsoft.public.works.win.

Yi,

I contacted the MS Works queue of engineers before my initial reply. They
did confirm that none of the Works applications support automation
interfaces.
