UnauthorizedAccessException at shape.Select

[Herr Berrt]

I get an UnauthorizedAccessException when I try to select a shape:

Word.Shapes lShapesMain = VADot.AppWord.ActiveDocument.Shapes;
object lItem2 = (object)"Rectangle 65";
Word.Shape shape = lShapesMain.get_Item(ref lItem2);
shape.Select( ref mTypeMissing );

Has anybody any idea?

Thx
Herr Berrt

I get an UnauthorizedAccessException when I try to select a shape:

Word.Shapes lShapesMain = VADot.AppWord.ActiveDocument.Shapes;
object lItem2 = (object)"Rectangle 65";
Word.Shape shape = lShapesMain.get_Item(ref lItem2);
shape.Select( ref mTypeMissing );

Seeing as how you're using an "advanced" language (not a VB dialect), I'm
surprised you use ActiveDocument, rather than creating a Word.Document
object variable and working from that. Not said that this is the problem,
but I'd certainly make that change, first.

Then, are you certain a Shape of this name actually exists in that
document? Shape names that Word assigns can be extremely volatile - Word
will change them at the drop of a hat.

Yes, its sure, that this shape exists, otherwise I get another exception
(like "object doesnt exits" or similar).
