Word problem....

[sami1981]

Hi, folks
I used VB to generate a word document with around 50 tables inside.

My problem is that the generation of the document is not stable.
Most of the time it is error-free, but sometimes errors will raise during the " Cell Merge" procedure. It is for the same task, i just want to check whether it is stable so i run it for several times.


I think that is nothing wrong with the codes, otherwise it can not be error-free.

So what may be the reason for such kind problem??

Will the setting fot "Odoc.Visuable" effects the
document generation???

Sorry... It is "oDoc.Visible" instead of "Odoc.Visuable".

Don't know, unless we can see some code?

Hi,RobDog888,
Thanks for ur reply.
I try several times and find out that if
i set the "ActiveDocument.Visible = True " then
the excution will be error-free.
Otherwise the error message would like this:

*****************************
Runtime error '4605':
This command is not available.

*****************************

And the error command in my code is :

***************************
Selection.Cells.Merge

***************************


This comamd excutes well if i set
"ActiveDocument.visiable = True".



So i think the setting of "ActiveDocument.visiable"
will effect the excution.

I dun know why Word VBA got such problem...
It is better to set the
"ActiveDocument.visiable = false "
during the excution of my program.


My project is confidencial in my company,
so i can not show you here.
Sorry about that.

Thanks a lot... any way.

Your problem doesn't seem to be very difficult provided code is looked at.

Pasting your code on the board will not affect the confidentiality of the file.

If you are using the Selection object or moving etc. then the
document HAS to be active and visible. No way around it.

You can always post code with any sensitive data changed to
protect the innocent.
