Hello!

Ich have a problem with the Mail Merge Execute. In some posts people describe that they have used a xJob interface to exectue the mail merge and in other posts people executed it like this:

Code:

Dim args(8)
Set args(0) = OOoPropertyValue("DataSourceName", "txt")
Set args(1) = OOoPropertyValue("DocumentURL", "file:///....")
....
Set objMailMerge = objServiceManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.MailMerge")
objMailMerge.Execute args()

How should I execute mail merge in Visual FoxPro?
What is wrong with the array or the parameter?

Here is my "Code-Snippet":

Code:

*// OpenOffice is started and a document was opened...

oDatabaseContext = oSManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext")
oDataSource = oSManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.sdb.DataSource")
cDataSourceName = "TestDataSource"

oDatabaseContext.registerObject(cDataSourceName, oDataSource )
oDataSource.setPropertyValue("URL", "sdbc:dbase:file:///c:/temp/")
oConnection = oDataSource.getConnection("","")

LOCAL ARRAY laPropertyValue[2]
laPropertyValue[1] = createStruct( @loReflection,"com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[1].NAME = "DocumentURL"
laPropertyValue[1].VALUE = "file:///c:/temp/mailmerge.sxw"

laPropertyValue[2] = createStruct( @loReflection,"com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[2].NAME = "DataSourceName"
laPropertyValue[2].VALUE = "TestDataSource"

oMerge = oSManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.MailMerge")
COMARRAY(oMerge, 10)

oMerge.Execute( @laPropertyValue )

Return

Function createStruct( toReflection, tcTypeName)

LOCAL loPropertyValue,loTemp
loPropertyValue= createobject( "relation" )
toReflection.forName( tcTypeName).createobject(@loPropertyValue)
return ( loPropertyValue)

ENDFUNC

The Solution should be like this....

Code:

LOCAL ARRAY laPropertyValue[7]
lnAIndex = 1

*// this parameter geturns an error!
*!* laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
*!* laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "DocumentURL"
*!* laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = "file:///C:/temp/result"
*!* lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "DataSourceName"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = "DataSource"
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "ActiveConnection"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = oConnection
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "CommandType"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = 2
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "Command"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = "select * from kliste"
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "OutputType"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = 2
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "OutputURL"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = cOutputDir
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

laPropertyValue[lnAIndex] = oSManager.Bridge_GetStruct( "com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue" )
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].NAME = "FileNamePrefix"
laPropertyValue[lnAIndex].VALUE = "result"
lnAIndex = lnAIndex +1

oMerge.Execute( @laPropertyValue )

But the result is not like it should be... (the documents will be generated but the merge field content of the datasource is missing....)
Have anyone of you an idea to fix this?
