MS Word and Automation - application.visible

[Bernhard Haslinger]

Hello Group,
I have a problem using ms word2000 from visual basic .net.
When I generate my document (the document includes a different number
of tables) and the application is visible everything works fine. But
when I run the application in visible = false mode an error occurs -
the application says that the requested table is not available.

I dont know why this can happen - has somebody an idea?

Hi Bernhard,

Really hard to guess without seeing the code involved.

Generally, there are problems automating some aspects of Word if things
aren't visible. Word relies a lot on being able to physically lay out
the text on "pages". That shouldn't prevent it from finding tables, I
wouldn't think, but it might depend on HOW you're trying to do it.

Hi,
I remember that in the past I had in a special case this problem which was
caused by the Select - method. Do you have code like this?
