Word 97 Automation With VC++

N

News

Hi,

Recently upgraded to Windows XP and Word 2003.

Have an existing VC++ interface to automate Word 97. No longer have Word 97
installed on the development machine.

The interface has the following imports:

#import "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO97.dll"
#import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Vba\VBEEXT1.olb"
#import "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msword8.olb"
rename("ExitWindows","WordExitWindows")

I have retrieved the three files from the Word 97 install disk and placed
them on a separate directory. The imports have been changed to read as
follows:

#import "E:\WordComIncludeFiles\Word8\MSO97.dll"
#import "E:\WordComIncludeFiles\Word8\VBEEXT1.olb"
#import "E:\WordComIncludeFiles\Word8\Msword8.olb"
rename("ExitWindows","WordExitWindows")

However, now when I compile the program, I get errors similar to the
following:

e:\ngspgms\idmw8r32\release\VBEEXT1.tlh(196) : error C2039:
'_CommandBarsPtr' : is not a member of 'Office'
e:\ngspgms\idmw8r32\release\VBEEXT1.tlh(196) : error C2146: syntax error :
missing ';' before identifier 'CommandBars'
e:\ngspgms\idmw8r32\release\VBEEXT1.tlh(196) : error C2501:

e:\ngspgms\idmw8r32\release\VBEEXT1.tlh(236) : error C2143: syntax error :
missing ',' before '*'
e:\ngspgms\idmw8r32\release\VBEEXT1.tlh(236) : error C2059: syntax error :
'*'

and so on.

Am I missing other files from the Word 97 install disk? Or any other
suggestions as to what might be going wrong?

TIA,
Neil Sutter
