Corel Ventura automation with VFP

[SteveBoard]

Is anyone using Corel Ventura Publisher or Corel Database publisher inside of Visual FoxPro routines?

I've automated Word, Excel, and Outlook nicely in a VFP program. I'd like to now do something with Ventura Publisher, a desktop publishing program from Corel. At this point I'm simply calling Ventura like the older DOS era (RUN /N <path> <program><parameters> etc). There must be a way to execute it as a subordinate program while VFP runs. It could be an OLE routine or some other method, but I don't get the syntax right.

Your advice?

If it's a real Automation (COM) server, then you should be able to use VFP 7/8's Object Browser or Intellisense to explore the object model.

Otherwise I'd check their website to see if they have a developers support forum and/or documentation.
