Keeping my Word App Alive

Hi All,

I have created a class that references
MS Word. The class will happily control
Word, adding text, etc.

However, when I have finished with the VB
app I want to close the app, but not Word
so that user can continue on their own.

If I release my word object and set it to nothing
then MS Word closes also.

Is there a way of releasing MS Word from
the control of my VB app so that I can
continue to use it even after the VB app has
terminated?

Thanks,

Jason.

Hi Jason,

You may want to try (I haven't actually tried this) System.Diagnost ic.Process (or VB Shell) to start Word, then use GetObject to get the instance.

Hope this helps,

Hi, I have a python gtk app that allows users to have one project open at a time. I have recently discovered that projects are not being freed when they are closed - the refcount is not hitting zero. I have used gc.get_referrers() to track down a few culprits, but I have now found that some of my dialog boxes are staying alive after being closed too (and keeping a reference to the project). e.g. gc.collect()

Hi, First of all, I am looking for a way to force the execution of a php script to explicitly stop when told to do so by the client connection.

Also, I am looking for a way to force php to stay alive, even if the connection to the client drops. Finally, does anyone know of a...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
