Calling Word

Yeah, the code is probably sloppy. I am not really a programmer, but,..

I am calling Word to create a document. On my machine, running ME and Word 2000, everything works fine. On any machine running Word 98, I am getting a fatal error. Code is below. ANy ideas why this is happening? It appears that Word object is opening, then the documents is not.

Tahnks,
Tim

That's a lot of code to plough through. Can you highlight the line causing the error?

Sorry, I should have cut off the last stuff.

ObjWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="TempIll.doc"

Should it not be:
Set ThisDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\Program Files\BFL\WLIll.doc")

Adding ObjWord makes no difference. Still getting Fata Error- trying to execute illegal commend. Works in WOrd 2000, but not 97.

I take it that the files exist?

I'd recommend changing the constant wdWindowStateMaximize
to its VB equivalent, but past that, I can't see an obvious answer.

Set ThisDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:\Program

Try:
VB Code:
Set ThisDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Open Filename:="whatever"      ' no ()
 
' or 
 
Set ThisDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Open("whatever")  ' no filename:=
 
' or 2 line version of above(with/without 'FileName:=')
 
ObjWord.Documents.Open Filename:="whatever"
Set ThisDoc = ObjWord.ActiveDocument
