Hi,
Please could someone tell me how to programmatically open up a
template on a Pocket PC device (Dell Axim X3 to be precise) and once
edited, save the template under a different name?
My situation is as follows:
I have successfully created a pocket word template (template.psw) and
saved it in the correct location, and set this template as the default
template.
The users (local councillors - with no computing knowledge) are meant
to open this template and add some text, then save the new file with a
more meaningful name. But, they cannot be relied upon to do this
successfully!
The naming of the file contains digits, which must be consecutive
(i.e. P000012.doc, with the next one being P000013.doc, and so on.)
The digits are read from a keypool, where the next digit to use is
situated.
I want to be able to open the template (template.psw) with the correct
name (i.e. P000014.doc) already assigned to the file properties. This
way the users (who are hopeless to say the least) do not have to worry
about naming the file incorrectly or out of sequence - they just add
the text and save the file (without the worry of overwriting the
template.psw file).
Is this possible? I am using MobileVB (VB) as the programming
language. can the properties of pocket word files be manipulated
programmatically, i.e. filename, location, type, etc?
(I understand that the template resides in the 'My Docs\templates'
folder on the PPC and that the new file will need to be saved in a
different folder.)
