Hello Guys!

I am about to migrate my key project from Delphi to Lazarus, but...

My project belongs on:

1. Windows only - this is not a problem
2. Firebird SQL over IBX - there is http://www.mwasoftware.co.uk/
3. FastReport - there is an oficial Lazarus version to buy
4. own components based on JCL, JvVCL - I can manage
5. TWordApplication, TWordDocument, ... OLE support for MS Word - ????

and the fifth point makes me a fear, because I didn't found the way how to implement all the stuff around MSWord. The key feature is to prepare word document and to let it modify by users. When user ends his work I need to get control about saving the document, closing Word to finish the work with the edited document.

CreateOleObject is not a solution, there are not captured the events.

I want to continue the development on Lazarus, because I worked on one large Delphi2Lazarus conversion and the support from this list was awesome. This is the reason why I want to change to Lazarus. It is not about to save money on Delphi XE*

That's just ActiveX. The only thing you need are the right bindings.

But if you own a valid Delphi 5 license, you can simply use the definitions that come with Delphi, and compile those in Lazarus/fpc.

I don't know it that will work, but you could at least try...
