Re: Filling Word Form from Access

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Your MS Office installation got corrupt.
I would advise a full re-installation.

If it concerns an enterprise rollout of Office, you will need to talk to the IT ops department for this.

That's strange.

Let's see whether yr system allows you to do something completely basic as
in:

sub testingword()
Dim wdapp as new word.application
dim doc as word.document
wdapp.visible = true
set doc = wdapp.documents.add
end sub

Do you see the newly created document?

This breaks at line "wdapp.visible=true" with error 80040155
"automation error - interface not recognised".

Dim wdapp As Word.Application
Set wdapp = New Word.Application

breaks at the second line with the same error, while

Dim wdapp As Object
Set wdapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

gives error 424 "object required"

Trying Excel instead of Word doesn't work either - I think there's
something wrong with the office installation on this machine and I
probably need to call our IT dept in.

Many thanks for your help up to this point,

Finlay
