MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / February 2006Closing write protected word document
Hi! I am launching a word "serial letter" from access. The new document is created correctly. When I try to close the template document (which is write protected) using objWord.close wdDoNotSaveChanges I always get asked where to save the document (although I asked not to save changes). Can this be avoided? Thanks for your ideas. Best regards, Andreas Hi Andreas, 1) What is the value of wdDoNotSaveChanges at this point in your code? It needs to be 0 or False (I find it easier just to pass True or False in this argument rather than try to remember the names of the Word constants). 2) If that's not the answer, is it possible that something you've done has created another document, or modified a template, without your noticing? >Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Best regards, >Andreas -- John Nurick [Microsoft Access MVP] Please respond in the newgroup and not by email.

I have been advised to use predefined constant names since the beginning of my programming in any language, just to cover future changes... Is this wring? > 2) If that's not the answer, is it possible that something you've done > has created another document, or modified a template, without your > noticing? The target of that serial letter is set to "New Document", so a second document is created in the process. Then the macro tries to close the template to prevent the user from messing around with it. There the request for a filename occurs. Should'nt wdDoNotSaveChanges prevent this request even _if_ a macro changed the template in the process? Best regards, Andreas |
