Corrupt Table

[Mike Faulkner]

Hello
Windows XP
Office XP (SP3)

I would like to use VBA to test the integrity of a table. What VBA test(s)
should I perform on a table to identfy whether it is corrupt or not?

Any assitance would be appreciated.

Regards
Mike

Forget it. If the table is corrupt, your code will either not notice, or
hang.

Many thanks for the reply. I still believe that is a Method out there
somewhere. Word broadcasts the presence of a corrupt table, annoyingly not
which one, but that a corrupt one exists.

not sure what you have in mind, but there's no method that doies that.

Do you have any particular variety of "corruption" in mind?

If you convert a table-to-text-and-back again often the table contents is
'scattered' about in the new table. I'm informed that this does not
necessarily constitute a corrupt table. Tabs, Paragraph Markers & Fields etc.
may have caused this to happen.

When you do have a corrupt table Word broadcasts this when you open the
document. I would like to use this broadcast to process a large volume of
documents.

I appreciate your interest

Wanting doesn't make it possible. There is no VBA function for this.

I am using an application called DocXtools by Microsystems. This Document
repair tool intercepts the Microsoft Word corrupt table Broadcast and
re-builds the corrupt table. They are not letting on how they do it. The code
is in DLLs.
