Automation error - The message filter indicated that the application is busy.

[Ram]

Hi all,

Iam using word to generate some reports required from the given template
file. Iam using the COM components. Iam using VB and Office 2000.

I've a VB DLL where all my code is there. When I try to invoke the word from
the DLL, Iam getting the following error:
"Automation error
The message filter indicated that the application is busy. "

I saw on the web, that this is a bug in Office. What is the solution for
this? When I put the code in a Standard EXE, its creating the word document
very fine. But when I put the same code in ActiveX DLL, Iam struck.

Can anyone give a solution for this problem..?

Regards
Ram

Hi Ram

We wont be able to help you without more information.

Specifically the URL of the page that documents the problem and any known
workarounds. You'll need to post the code that fails, or at least enough of
it so that we can clearly see what's happening. You also need to clearly
indicate where the code fails and exactly what the error message is.

Cheers - Peter
