Hi,

Sorry, but i will post in English although i understand and write/speak French (my third language), and that i have read some strange post about someone who is 'angry' with the English language, well ...

But OK , i do not want to make ennemies already with my first post on this forum .

I like the wdForge idea but i think that with the idea of creating a clMSO (MS Office class) you taking to much on your shoulders.

MSOffice, with all the products and versions, it is almost impossible to put it in a set of (sub)classes (i never saw it anyway, not in Delphi nor VB or any other ...) and it is going to be hell of a job specially where apparently there are not very much developers for the moment who are there for to help programming, testing ...

I think that with just taking a part of MSOffice (Word, Excel, Powerpoint ...) there is already a big job to do.

Personally i am most interested in MSOutlook or eventual MSWord altough at home i work with OpenOffice and Pegasus as email client but most of our clients uses MsOffice products. So at work we have to follow this, but mind you, even with a 'simple' MSWord merge OLE automation program there can be different problems depending on Office/OS/Language... version.

I will not take initiatives in this project or help with the administrative part but i will be glad to contribute as a developer and/or take part in discussions about 'wdForge and how to go on ?'

Greetings,
Peter

(BTW this site has a lot of information but for a simple developer as i am, it is not as simple as it could be ...
I am logged in, but wondering how this posting is going to look like ... ))
