Correspondence Detail (OLE) The processes leading up to the use of this form are described under Correspondence Detail (CORF2330). This form is invoked from CORF2330. The form is used to Save, View and Modify an OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) Correspondence Item. The Correspondence Item is stored as an 'object' in the database. This means that within the System it becomes a picture of the correspondence, not an editable item. To View or Edit the correspondence the System activates the application in which the correspondence was created. Editing is then done using the full capabilities of the helper application prior to saving back into the System. OLE Correspondence Items can be created and edited using many 'external' software applications. Both manually generated and System generated correspondence can be created and stored in this way. System generated correspondence is not normally modified. OLE can be used to store most types of correspondence including word processor, spreadsheet, graphic, sound and video correspondence. Correspondence can be created here but is more commonly created outside the System and copied into a file to be saved as an object in the System. |
