Thanks

Hi Nila,
in order to open an RTF file as XML, you can do:
- display the Open File dialog (File -> Open)
- locate and click on the RTF file (or type in the name)
- check the 'Open using XML Converter' check box
- click OK
- in the next dialog, pick "Rich Text Format (RTF)" item in the list at the left
- click OK

If the RTF comes from a database that can be accessed using a WebDAV interface you should be all set.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Nila,
SQL Server doesn't natively provide a WebDAV interface, so you will have to write some code to be able to extract the RTF data from the SQL columns.

One alternative is to compile and install a WebDAV server that exposes the SQL database, like the one described at http://thehojusaram.blogspot.com/2007/06/c-webdav-server-with-sql-backend-source.html

Another approach is to write .NET or Java code that make use of DataDirect XQuery and DataDirect XML Converters; it fetches the data from the database and then instantiate the converter to work an a stream (instead of pointing to a URL). This solution would also have the benefit of being scalable and deployable outside of Stylus, but it will require to get additional licenses for the two standalone DataDirect products.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
