I have Delphi 7 Enterprise installed on my system along with Office XP. I'm
about to upgrade my Office XP to Office 2003. I have the following
questions:

1. Is there anything I need to do to my Delphi Office server components to
make sure I don't break anything?
2. Does anyone know of any issues associated with these server components
continuing to work with Office 2003?
3. If anyone has used the Delphi 8 beta, are there any issues with those
server components in Delphi 8 working with Office 2003?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The following may be of use....

I use Delphi 6 Ent and when we try to Mail Merge Office 2003 we are getting
error messages

"the requested object is not available" - the code has worked OK on XP
and all versions before but not on Office 2003

I would desparately like to know a solution as I have customers who are
upgrading to 2003 and then can not use the Mail Merge with our application.

We are having problems with 2003 as illustrated below....

With the new version of office we are getting error messages

"the requested object is not available" - the code below has worked OK on XP
and all versions before.

Are there any mods I need to do for 2003 compatability? In my uses clause I
call word97.

Thanks in advance

For MailMerge in Word 2003 follow the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825765
and "the requested object is not available" goes away.
