[RESOLVED] word application declaration error

Hi im working on an application which will generate a word doc. Now i have moved to some other system. if i opened my vb project from the new machine its showing the word application is not declared. i have add the refference. but no use:-(

Help me !!

Thanks in advance

Post your code...

Does this new system contain the same version of Word? which version was on the original system and on this new system?

Ramesh, Rob has a valid question when he is asking which version are you using? Show the code where you are interacting/declaring with Word. I suspect that you must be using Early binding... You need to use Late Binding.

Yes. But Both the system having MS word2007. But the application will generate and save it in word2003 format.

Show the code where you are interacting/declaring with Word... Also the code where you are trying to save it as 2003 format... What is the FileFormat:xx number that you are using...

oh... this is vb.net

Well you have posted it in the wrong forum :) Request a mod to move it to vb.net forum.

Edit: I have requested a mod to move it :)

Thread Moved

Do you have the PIA's installed on this new system? (link in my signature)
Do you have Option Explicit On in your Options?

I doubt his machine doesnt have Winword Installed

If it didnt, he wouldnt have been able to add the Word reference unless the solution was just copied over to the new system without references being updated etc.

hi rob.. i have updated the word reference.. can u pls tell me wat are the reference need to update.

Can you verify that you have the Primary Interop Assemblies installed?
If not you will need to install them.

Thanks a lot.......now no errors:-) after publishing it when i try to install in a machiine it shows interop.word.dll is missing:-(

Did you package the PIAs for deployment on other systems that have Word installed?
