Insert a document into another document with a Form at startup
Hi Astrid,
Ja klopt, lastig he dat Engels??
Thanks again!
Because the coverpagetemplate is also being used seperatly, I was hoping
there was a way to use the coverpagetemplate on its own as well as in the
reporttemplate.
But it seems that is n't possible, so i'll do it your way!
Thanks.
Ellen
