I can open up the report file in my alClient aligned panel, but I have several shortcomings with it: 1) I would rather not open the file for edit (ovShow), but I can not get the report to scroll (even when using tScrollBox). 2) I can not get the edit screen to refresh when resizing the window. The parent panel is locked. The preview/browse window underneath resizes. 3) Can I get rid of the icon toolbar? 4) Can I open the file for read-only?

There's a free Word viewer that you can download from MS, which might be better; otherwise you could use the TWebBrowser, which would not show the toolbars. -- Deborah Pate (TeamB) http://delphi-jedi.org TeamB don't see posts sent via Google or ISPs Use the real Borland server: newsgroups.borland.com http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/genl_faqs.html Back to top Alton Newman Guest Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2003 11:00 pm    Post subject: Re: tOleContainer I had already been using tWebBrowser for previewing HTML reports (my user has several output options) and did not realize that it was so versatile! You know, the component name sells it short. This will fix a lot for me. Thank you so much! A couple of addition questions ... Is there any way to turn off the CSV association with a spreadsheet (short of removing it from the registry or renaming the file)? I would rather view it as a text file and not as a spreadsheet. Is there any way to remove the 4 "view" buttons (Normal, Web, Print, Outline) when viewing a RTF/doc file? ---------------------------------- Alton Newman [email]anewman (AT) texaspepper (DOT) com[/email] "Deborah Pate (TeamB)" <d.pate (AT) blueyonder (DOT) co.not-this-bit.uk> wrote in message news:VA.00001dee.00be8f05 (AT) blueyonder (DOT) co.not-this-bit.uk...

The olecontainer (showing word) refreshes badly when the underlying panel is resized. I cannot find a workaround. I do not want the word toolbars to hide when the olecontainer looses focus. (disable would be fine) Anybody any ideas?
