This example shows how a stand alone VB program can operate MSPowerPoint. It is very simple, but does demonstrate the basic technique.
I have used sockets to connect Wintel platforms to UNIX platforms on many occasions. The typical scenario is a database, in Informix, Oracle or whatever, on a UNIX box with potential users on PCs linked via an intranet. Most DB's have at least a C API that can be used along with old fashioned BSD sockets to write a simple server. On the PC's a simple VB program can be used to connect to the server. All that is needed is an IP address and a port. This is an example that illustrates the techniques involved.
This is a simple MSAccess (2000) database with a single table that contains the names of some famous scientist and the dates during which they were extant. Some of the entries have no dates and can be found by running the query. This database has a form with a single button on it that has a command procedure attached to it. When this button is clicked the procedure opens MSWord and writes the database to a new document twice. The fist time the output is in the form of made up sentences and the second time the database is placed into an MSWord table.
