No toolbar in word ????

[trasher]

My app is opening a specific word file with the object "word.application". But , I'm not able to make the word's toolbar visible...
here:s my code

Set wrdApp = CreateObject("word.application")
wrdApp.Documents.Open("FilePath")
wrdApp.Application.ScreenUpdating = True
wrdApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
wrdApp.Application.Visible = True
Set wrdApp = Nothing

Maybe you could try using Shell or Shellexecute instead ?

[trasher]

I could,
I was just wondering if it was a way to do it like this because my app will be implemented into several machines, and word isn't always in the same directory.

but what is the difference between Shell and ShellExecute ??

[plenderj]

Well to get the path I believe you can use this code or something similar.

Word.Application.Path

And with ShellExecute, you can execute a given filename, and windows should open up the appropriate application for it

If you are using Word97 then it is due to a bug. Solution to this problem is very simple

Move the statement that sets the Visible property above the statement that sets the WindowState property
