Hi,
I have an application that needs to convert various formats into
various other formats, one of the formats it needs to convert is MS
Word.
One of the decisions I took to make things easier for the first demo
was to start the application doing the converting as a seperate
process, pass it the information and let it do the conversion.
This means that each time I start up my converting application it
creates a new Word Application object and destroys it at the end
before exiting.
I am wondering if it might make more sense to have this application
running all the time and just pass it a message as to what file to
convert.
Note that while Word is of course important to convert there are more
than a dozen formats that need to be converted, so I figured it was
more sensible to stop after each conversion.
I hope I haven't made the case too vague here, I am trying to balance
needlessly blathering on about the application with giving enough
information to form a picture.
