Run-time error 430

Hi,

I know that this has been posted before, but nothing has helped me to resolve the problem.

I have an application written in VB6 that connects to an Access database. No problems there. I am able to add/amend and delete data through the application. I can also run any of the reports that I have created.

When I try to open a mail merge Word document I get the '430' error. (Class does not support etc)

I have never come across this before so am pretty stuck.

I have checked that the client machine has the correct version of MDAC and that we are using the same version of Office (2000).

Both machines are running XP but mine, the development one, has SP2 installed where as the client has SP1. Would this cause an issue?

As far as I can tell the application fails on this line of code:

myWordApp.Documents.Open Trim(OpenFile.lpstrFile)

Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Mark

Welcome to Forums! :wave:

You might need to post your code so we can take a look at it but do not post your entire program ... :)

Mr_Floyd1976,

I imagine your client machine has Word installed?

Hi, and thank you for the welcome :)

Here is the code that I have behind the 'Print Letter' button.

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()

'Add current details to tbl_Letter. All in GV
Call fnDeleteLetters
Call fnAddLetterDetails
'now need to choose which letter
'open a new form, small with radio buttons and OK
Dim OpenFile As OPENFILENAME
Dim lReturn As Long
Dim sFilter As String
OpenFile.lStructSize = Len(OpenFile)
OpenFile.hwndOwner = frmDetails.hWnd
OpenFile.hInstance = App.hInstance
sFilter = "Word Documents (*.doc)" & Chr(0) & "*.DOC" & Chr(0)
OpenFile.lpstrFilter = sFilter
OpenFile.nFilterIndex = 1
OpenFile.lpstrFile = String(257, 0)
OpenFile.nMaxFile = Len(OpenFile.lpstrFile) - 1
OpenFile.lpstrFileTitle = OpenFile.lpstrFile
OpenFile.nMaxFileTitle = OpenFile.nMaxFile
OpenFile.lpstrInitialDir = "C:\Inhance\Documents"
OpenFile.lpstrTitle = "Search For Inhance Letters"
OpenFile.flags = 0
lReturn = GetOpenFileName(OpenFile)
If lReturn = 0 Then
'do nothing, window closes
Else
'open word document fixed price letter
Dim myWordApp As Word.Application
Set myWordApp = New Word.Application
myWordApp.Documents.Open Trim(OpenFile.lpstrFile)
myWordApp.Application.Visible = True
End If

End Sub

I havent had any problems with the same code used in a different application.

Many thanks

Mark

Welcome..
When you post a code you can use this...
[ vbcode ]
Code here
[ /vbcode ]

Its all connected to each other... I just couldn't write it like that :P

Thanks for the info.

I just pasted it in, so it wasnt too much hassle...

Boing!

Do you have declarations like this?

VB Code:

Dim appWord As Object
    Dim strDoc As String
    Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    appWord.Documents.Open strDoc
    appWord.Visible = True
    strDoc = app.path & "MyDoc.doc"

Hi,

No, the only declarations I have relating to this are shown in the code I posted earlier.

This has worked on other XP machines in the past.
