Word object

I'm opening a Word object in two diferent ways but, the Instance of Word is still in memory all time later.

Method 1

Code:

---

Dim objWord As New Word.Application
objWord.Visible = False
objWord.Documents.Open "Document.doc"
objword.Printout
objWord.Documents.Close
Set objWord = Nothing

---

Method 2

Code:

---

Dim docWord as Object
Set docWord = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
docWord.FileOpen ("document.doc")
docWord.FilePrint
docWord.FileClose
Set docWord = Nothing

---

I'm using the Word 8 reference. In both cases the Word instance stay on memory. I think the 'Set DocWord = Nothing' is not the correct sentence to close the Word instance.

Any idea will be deeply apreciated.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I cant get the instance of word to go away.


------------------
I am so skeptacle, I can hardly believe it!

You're not using the word.application.quit method. This example uses Word 9.0 (probably work in 8 as well)

Code:

---

    Dim wd As Word.Application
   
    Set wd = New Word.Application
   
    wd.Documents.Open "D:\My Documents\Address.doc"
    wd.Documents.Close False
       
    wd.Application.Quit
    Set wd = Nothing

---

Winword is removed from memory, as shown by my close program box.

Thanks Tom,

But, I have a nother problem now.

Code:

---

objWord.Documents.Open "Doc1.doc"
objWord.PrintOut
DoEvents
objWord.Documents.Close
objWord.Quit
Set objWord = Nothing

---

And I recive this message:
Word is currently printing. Quitting Word will cancel all pending print jobs. Do you want to quit Word?

If I choose NO. Prints OK but doesn't quit it.

If I choose Yes. It quits Word OK but doesn't prints.

Is there any way to know when Word print job has finished?

Really thanks!

Happy New Year!

Hi,

use

Code:

---

objWord.Documents.Open "Doc1.doc"
objWord.PrintOut False
DoEvents
objWord.Documents.Close
objWord.Quit
Set objWord = Nothing

---

The False parameter after PrintOut prevents Word from printing in background and it will return to your code when printing is fully completed.

Happy New Year

Thanks for your note Roger,

Tom, also put the false but, I ignored.

Thanks to both!
