Tijnema,

Nothing found in the archive, so asking the question: has

anyone done any

scripting of Crossover to control MS Office applications on Linux? I would love to move to Linux, but have some apps that create

MS Word docs

and some doing Excel parsing. Cheers George in Edinburgh/Oxford

Can't you use some OpenOffice.org tools for that? OOo can open all kind of MS Word and Excel documents. So, can I create a '*.doc' file on a Linux box? And can I read the data from an Excel spreadsheet to parse into a MySQL db? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction for examples etc? Cheers George in Edinburgh/Oxford

You can defenitly open .doc files on a linux box with OOo, i'm only not sure if it's useful inside a PHP script. I don't have example code or such, but i think google is big enough for such :) Tijnema
