• Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions
• Microsoft Excel 2000
• Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
• Microsoft Word 2000

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Office, the Microsoft Office Server Extensions (OSE) library enables you to programmatically control objects in Discussions and DiscussionServers collections. You can use the Count property of the Discussions collection to return the number of discussions in a document that is hosted on a Web server extended with Microsoft Office 2000 Server Extensions.

MORE INFORMATION

The Count property returns the number of items in the specified collection. The Count property does not count recursively, however, and any discussions that are replies to a Discussion object are not included in the count.
