InsertFile Run-time Error '4198'

[matt]

When run the vba code to insert a file using a url with a question
mark I get run-time error '4198'. If I do it with a url with no ? it
works fine. If I do it manually in word from the menu Insert|File it
works fine with any valid url.

Application.ActiveDocument.Range.InsertFile
"http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=test&ei=UTF-8&fr=fp-tab-web-t&cop=mss&tab="

Any help would be great!

I'm wondering if double quoting would help here, each quote set to
start and terminate the string is a triple. Eg

"""http://www.wordheretic.com/something?parm1=1"""

Also, your url below ends in a blank parm

Thanks, but the quoting did not help. I cannot figure this one out!!!
The blank param aslo makes no diffence once i remove the ? it all
works but i need the ? to load the correct page.

Ahhhh, I think I've got it. If you are using
ActiveDocument.FollowHyperlink there is a parm for secondary address,
I wouldn't mind betting you chuck everything after the ? in there. You
might need the ?, you might not.
