Automating Corel Draw

[Guest]

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to automate Corel Draw from MS Access. I
have an MS Access database that I would like to have prints labels in Corel
Draw. I know you cannot automate MS Word from MS Access, but I've been
unable to find any help on Corel Draw.
Thanks!
Jake

Sorry, should read "I know you can automate MS Word from MS Access..."

Is this just a typo "I know you cannot automate MS Word from MS Access"?
It is possible to automate Word from Access.

What makes you think you cannot use automation with Word? You can control an
instance of word and print your labels. Corel Draw, I don't know about.

I believe that recent versions of Corel's products do support VBA, so yes,
it should be possible to automate it from Access or any other app that
supports VBA. I can't provide any details, but Corel host their own
newsgroups at their web site, you might find more information there.
