Word 2003 is more sensitive to document corruption than was Word 2000 - it
senses it when Word 2000 misses it. Just to be sure, file is not on a floppy
disk or other removable media is it?

When you say "program was compiled using Word 2000" you are saying a
mouthful that I don't think you mean. Do you mean that the document was
created / generated by Word 2000?

So the problem is that the dll isn't working in Word 2003? Do you still have
the original code?

Pardon me if this seems a bit harsh, but that question is exactly like
asking "His heart was working and then it stopped. What could have
caused that?" There are simply too many possibilities.

Without knowing what the code is supposed to do, how it should do it,
and exactly what the code is, your question is quite impossible to
answer. We also need to know *how* it's failing -- am I correct to
interpret your original post as meaning that the program apparently
runs correctly, but that the document it creates can't be opened?

The reason Charles asked whether you still have the code (that is, the
source code, not the compiled result) is that we'll need to examine it
to see whether it uses some function of Word that changed between
versions. Without that, the best we can do is shrug.

Hi

I am trying to pen a file generated by Word 2000 with Word 2003 and I get an
error that file may be corrupted etc.
This normally shouldn't happen because the Word can certainly read previous
versions

Additionally, the same program that was able to generate a document is not
able to do that any more (this machine has Word 2003 installed and the
program was compiled using Word 2000)


Any suggestions will be appreciated,
Samuel

 

[Samuel Shulman]

No, the program was complied on a computer where Word 2000 is installed and
therefore the Word dll is based on Word 2000

Thank you,
Samuel

The funny thing is that the code did work and then stopped. What could have
caused this code to stop working?

I finally found the problem

The bug was that I created, saved a document but not close it and
immediately I tried to open it using the System.Diagnostics.Open Method

Which was ok so long that I compiled the program using Word 2003 (that was
installed on my machine) but not with 2000 (which I had to revert back to)

This problem caused the file to be corrupted and as on of the responders
suggested 2003 is more sensitive

Thank you for your help

Samuel
