Hi

When I try use this code:

Code:
        Dim jobsheet As String = "C:\projects\Mydoc.docx"

        Dim oword As Object
        Dim odoc As Object
       

        oword = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        odoc = oword.Documents.Add(jobsheet)

        odoc.Bookmarks("mybookmark").Range.Text = "Some text"

        odoc.SaveAs("C:\projects\Mydoc-edited.docx")

     
        odoc = Nothing
        oword.Quit()
        oword = Nothing

I'm getting this error message:




I know the code was working earlier, and I've not changed any settings in Word, so this has got me stumped.

I've tried the code on another PC (which uses VS2019) and it works OK, and one of my colleagues has tried it via hsi copy of VS2022, so it seems to be something in Word. I'm using Office 365 (2016) v2207.

Trust Centre settings for Macros and ActiveX are set to 'allow all'. I've tried explicitly setting the Inetcache folder as a trusted location, but Word won't let me do this for reasons of 'security'.

What REALLY bugs me is that this was working fine earlier this morning. I can't see that Word has had an update, but something has obviously changed.

Can anyone suggest how I can get some automation working again? I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall at the moment.
