Simply put, I'm using this code to open a Word 2003 document as part of my user help documentation from a VB MDI. But when I do so I get the error "Word experienced an error opening the file..". File permissions are OK. as this it one of the things the error says should be checked. When I try a simple text file, it works fine and notepad opens up that up

I have a question regarding opening a file to view it in wordpad and i would like to know where to start.
I have looked through a few posts and the only "open" things i can find are to edit the contents of a file without viewing the contents.
How can i open a file in wordpad or What should i be looking for to find out about this myself?
what i am planning to do: Making a form wich contains a richtextbox, then using a string that includes the path of the file and the filename, example path: C:\lol.gfc if you would've check the string you will see that it is a non word document, i want to get the text wich is in this file in my richtextbox. i know that there are just normal characters and normal text in this document and i can open it with wordpad. this is how far i came...
FileOpen(1, pathstring, OpenMode.Random, OpenAccess.ReadWrite, _
OpenShare.Shared)
make my homework cause i didnt do anything myself yet, well i tryed but it never worked and i didnt came further than the ofileopen command.
is there way /means to export from Crystal Report To Microsoft Word and print that document without opening Ms Word Program by vb net
View 7 RepliesI am currently using the following code to print a word document[code]...
However I have found it to be buggy with our shared printers, this bug only happens when printing using word. It works fine when doing print automation with PDFs(Adobe Reader) etc.
What I am looking for is some code in vb.net which will allow me print this documents and I have to be about to specify the printer it uses.
I have a program that can save user's input into a text file and load it back, but whenever I try to open the file and exit without selecting the file I get an error.(if i select the file and open it i don't get any errors).
This is the code that handles text file loading:
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:"
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files ONLY (*.txt) | *.txt"
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[CODE]...
The error is :"FileNotFoundException was unhandled. Could not find file at xxx". also I would like to know how to make it so that the initial file name for file saving is today's date. I do not get any errors when I try to save the file.
I'm receiving an error I can't seem to figure out. I'm opening an image to Photoshop and the highlighted line is the cause. The file opens but closes automatically straight away.[code]...

Editing may hard your computer" and my program crushes.......The problem appears on the SECOND line, on DIM wb...blahblah.. i went to the office and unclicked the "protected view" checkboxes.. but it still throws me those errors. my guess is that the office i have in the computer is not the same as the one that my program uses to open excel files (i mean, i loaded/imported some excel.dll files in the program so i guess that will be the one) But how do i make the program not care if the excel file is "potentially dangerous"?

I have an Excel file with utilizes macros to allow a user to enter names of people and then double click on cells to enter ratings via radio buttons. When I open a blank file and enable the macros, I can add users, rate their skills using the radio buttons, etc. with no issue. I then SaveAs the file and continue working on it. once I Save and CLOSE the file, then go to re-open it, the trouble begins. Keep in mind, there is no alteration to the macros directly. Just entering data and using the form as intended. Here's what happens.
I reopen the file.I enter in the name of a person on one line. I go to the first box - double click on it.It is supposed to pop up a dialog box which allows me to choose a rating via radio button (as I had been doing before I closed the file). Instead, in that first column of ratings, it instead gives me the following error:
Runtime error '1004'Unable to set the LineStyle property of the Border class
When I hit "debug" this is the code it points to:
If ActiveCell.Column = leftb Then Range(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, leftb), Cells(ActiveCell.Row, rightb + 1)).Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlContinuous I have no idea why this would not work when I re-open the file!
note that when I go to click on the subsequent cells (there are 8 cells in which you provide ratings, moving across the columns with each cell) - the 2nd through 8th cells function fine. The dialog box pops up, the rating can be selected. it's just the FIRST cell that gives the issue What would possibly be the cause of this? We need users of this form to be able to save, close, and re-open it if needed.

I decided it was about time I learned about accessing Microsoft Office products via VB.NET. I started with Excel and it all worked fine, I could create a new Excel Application, open a workbook from file and read from the sheet then close it all down again no worries. However, when I turned to Word...things got strange. Using the code provided below, every time I run it an instance of Microsoft Word opens itself on the desktop (with no loaded content). I didn't have this problem when using Excel with similar code, so I have to ask..what gives? Is there a way I can stop MS word opening at all? At the moment it just flickers for a second (it opens when I open the document, then when I call the Quit method it shuts down a split second later)[code]...
View 3 RepliesI want to open a number of RTF documents in Word 2007, one at a time, in a VB .NET program. Here is a small representative sample of my code:
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Public Shared WordApp As Object = Nothing
Public Shared WordAppInit As Boolean = False
Public Shared Sub ExecWord()
If Not WordAppInit Then
On Error Resume Next
[Code] .....
Sometimes it hangs on one of the WordApp or WordDoc statements in TestSub1; sometimes it gets all the way through TestSub1 without problems but then hangs in TestSub2. Often it leaves an instance of WinWord running so that I have to kill it in Task Manager or reboot the system.
I've looked through some of the related topics to this newly created thread but none have answered my question. Refer to the following code below:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Public Class Form1
'declares the following Word and Excel variables as public
[code]....
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(My.Settings.DocPath & "Letter.doc")
HOWEVER, whenever the debugger hits this line, it simply quits. No the application doesnt quit, no it does not hit the finally, end try or End Sub...it simply quits the sub. Actually, I think it causes the app to freeze but hard to tell because it happens in a dialogue form and this causes the dialogue form to bypass its close statement!

Using VB2008 on a W7 system equipped with Office 2010, I added a reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (The Office12 version, not sure if this is OK). Then I have the following code:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
[code]....
But all I keep getting is an exception on the CreateObject line indicating "Cannot create ActiveX component". I don't think it likes the "Word.Application" statement for some reason. Is this because I'm using Word2010?
