We require a new visual basic application to to run a Microsoft Word document template (already prepared). The document is a report for user entry that has macros that display a series of user entry forms. (The macros for the forms are already written from within 'Word'). Other user entry will be directly in to the prepared document.
(We understand that the end user of the program will be required to have ms Word installed on their computer.)
The ms Word template is required to run only inside the new vb application.
The user should be able to fill out the forms generated by the macros, make other entires in to the prepared report documnt and print the report.
We require that the use of ms Word be invisible to the user.
We require that the saving of the target report and subsequent reports compiled in the vb program not be accessable other than from the new vb program.
As an overview. We require the new vb program to give us protection from unauthorised distributing our template / Boilerplate. We are also interested in time limiting the new application so that it can be distributed on an annual license basis. So a programmer who has experience of deploying a licensed programe would be very useful.
