Hi all! :wave:

Our application uses some 3rd party dll's to perform calculations. This works fine on every system we installed our app on so far, but with one specific installation calling any one...

Hi All, :wave:

Our application uses Word Automation to generate a document, which works fine most of the time. But with one customer Word freezes when setting the page orientation to landscape as...

Exactly right my dear dilettante. The odd thing about this problem is that it does not occur on all 64-bit systems.
Yet... there seems to be no other common factor, though logic dictates there must...

Erm, yes it was/is.
Putting the quotes around the path is just a workaround for GetShotPathName not working.

Just added "" to every Shell invokation in VB6 and .NET.
This solved the problem. Thankfully we didn't use the Shell command in more than 50 places, otherwise this would have coused me several days...

Did some additional testing, the results:
- When I put the path between "", e.g. "c:\program files (x86)" it works fine. But omitting them causes the error.
- I also discovered that the...

Thanks, but found no usefull remarks there.
It's VB6 and we're using GetShortPathNameA.
Worked like a charm for decades, but fails on several machines since yesterday.

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing some trouble with 64-bit machines, where our app is installed in C:\program files(x86).
The problem is that GetShortPathName API function is not working anymore, where...

YEAH! :bigyello:
Applying the GuidAttribute to the Interface worked!
I first looked up de GUID dat had been automatically generated with the Interface in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, by searching for the...

Woe is me! :(
Is there no one who can come to my aid?

G'day ya'all, :wave:
I have a dll built in .NET which exposes an interface and registers for COM Interop.
I added the following attributes in AssemblyInfo
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")>...

Allright, that works like a charm! Many thanks and positive ratings to you Doogle.
Problem solved.

This should work (labels are dutch, sorry about that):

As for samuelk's reply: the discovery of this problem was made with the compiled code.

Here's a screenshot of the usercontrol that is loaded onto the form:

In 99&#37; of all cases this would be the right implementation. As I explained, however, my requirements state that I should support a "no choice made" state, thereby disqualifying a default selection....

"a radiobutton must always be selected its the function of a radio button"
Er... I have never heard of this one. And I don't agree.

But as for your idea to add an invisible, selected radiobutton;...

That would certainly work, however the requirements forbid a default selection as we want the user to make a conscious decision.

The application indicates which parts of the questionaire has been...

Thanks, but changing the tabindex didn't work.

Hey there :wave:

My fellow developers and I have been busting our brains trying to fix this problem, but we've tried everything we could think of. Perhaps this one sounds familiar to you:

As an addition for those facing the same problem: the XML contained a special character "&#233;", which was replaced by "?" causing the problem as the XML did not have an encoding specified.

Thanks. It is indeed a malformed XML.
I thought it had something to do with an interruption of some kind during the response. It turns out that our server produces this invalid XML with this...

Hi there, :wave:

On of our apps downloads a license xml based on a customer id. This of course works fine on all installs except one.

On this particular machine the exception stated in the...

The system administrator removed office 2003 and installed 2007 and guess what?
It works like a charm!

Pity though, I would have liked to know if re-installing office 2003 would have given the...

It turns out the Selecion.Find.Application property was nothing; the ClearFormatting method was not the actual problem.

So I wrote an If...End If around the Find/Replace code, which worked, but...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go and post the result!

I'm sorry but, just what kind of check should this be?
Please keep in mind that I cannot simulate it om my development machine.

Dearly beloved, :ehh:

I am facing an error when using Word automation with office 2003 SP3.
I have a document that contains several placeholders, which are replaced when filling the document....

OK, thanks to component 1 I now have the solution: replace the vsview 7 components with vsview 8.
I tested it and it works.

Thank you for thinking along. It kinda shows that there is no fast alternative to C1Report when it comes to exporting to doc(x). I feared as much.

I'm still hoping there's someone out there who...

Thanks for the reply jdc2000.
I need to support all versions of Windows 7. Saddly, I can't ask several hundreds of users to install XP Mode.

Your suggestion puzzles me however; how could this...

Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions?

Just tried it with Win7 SP1. But still no images...

There's a whole bunch of things concerning tables in Word that take time; for example

- Adjusting column width

I looked it up in Word/VBA help; should I be using the ConvertToTable method?

I quote:

This must be a difficult question indeed. Someone must be facing the same problem or has found the solution. Any suggestion is welcome.

Woe is me. Is there not one who can come to my aid?

Hi all! :wave:

I am currently looking to replace our reporting engine, hoping to gain some speed. We are now using the Word automation, which works terribly slow when formatting tables. The big...
