Overview

Informs is an ActiveX DLL. It can be used with any COM-aware development tool or application including Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, Word, Excel, Access.

When Informs assembles a document it links to an Answer File. Existing Answers read from the Answer File are used in the assembly process. New Answers obtained from the assembly process are written back to the Answer File for next time.

When linking to Informs from another application you open or create an Answer File; pass the required Answers (variables); close the Answer File; open the required document and link it the Answer File; and start the assembly process. You can also choose to extract Answers from the Answer File and write them back to your application after the assembly process has completed.

When using VB or VBA in a Microsoft Office application set a reference to Informs as in the following dialog.
