Automation Interface with Word 2003

[Gary W.]

Hi,

Can I ask if people are using the sample Automation Interface (www.sparxsystems.com.au/bin/AutIntBas.zip) with Word 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1?

Word is crashing for me, and I'm working with Sparx Support to get this resolved.  But before they spend too much time on this, I wanted to see if there were others using this configuration successfully.

Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,

It is suprising to hear that this code does work under Word 2003.  We did test it for Word 2000, 2002 & 2003.  We ended up using the library for Word 2000 as this was the one that seemed to cover all the versions best.

If you are looking at working on this in VB,  I would reccomend you reset the Word Object library to the Word 2003 - "Microsoft Word 11 Object library" See:
http://sparxsystems.com.au/resources/developers/autint_vb_setup.html for a graphical picture of where to set this in VB 6.

I assume you are already aware of the location for the source code: ttp://sparxsystems.com.au/bin/AutIntDll.zip.

I hope this is of help.

Dermot.

Dermot,

Oops, never did reply back to your post.  Thanks for the vote of confidence for Automation under Word 2003.  I'm quite sure it's a problem on my end (i.e. user error).

I'll keep plugging away at it...

Cheers,
Gary
