Automation error

[tim cadieux]

Using the below code gives me this error

Run-time error '-2147467259(80004005):
Automation error


If TextD_Modification.text <> "" Then
TextModification.Text =
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties
(wdPropertyTimeLastSaved)

What is TextD_Modification? An object? A UDT?

References to ActiveDocument fail in some contexts also (can fail if the
active 'document' is actually a DOT file)

Hi Martinique,

References to ActiveDocument fail in some contexts also (can fail if the
active 'document' is actually a DOT file)

Can't say I've ever encountered that. Do you have a specific example?

Can't dredge up the specific code (we were really glad to be rid of it!) but
it entailed running Word via OLE from VB, where Word was not visible. The
same sort of situation in which the Selection object malfunctions.
