I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you:-), but it's _not_ a matching
technology and it's been demonstrated here several times before
can you extract data from an FMP db, with styles, then create a document
in quark, create a few text boxes, insert the text with all formatting
intact, import some pictures and format/rotate/scale them, save the
document as an EPS, archive the original in a new folder with all
associated artwork, distill it to a screen res PDF, email it to a client
and log the lot into a different db? Get an email response from the
client and then create a press res PDF and send it to a rip - all without
human interaction?
I'm happy to concede WSH (and VB and Winbatch) can probably do wonderful
things but they are not the equal of Applescript
cheers
