Hi,
Please redirect me if I am in the wrong group for this question... this is
my first post to this group, so I hope it is clear!
I am working on an automation project in VB.NET and have to interact with
Word 2000 SP-3 to find and replace text within a word document.
Unfortunately, development (not created by me!) occured with Word 2000 SR-1
and on ugrading the references and version to SP-3, some of the code
inexplicably stopped working, I am hoping somebody might be able to help me
here with suggestions of why the failure is occuring.
Debugging had become difficult too - if I try to debug the application,
Visual Studio debugger quits when executing the call to set my Word.Find
object to the value of WordApplication .Selection.Find - this is very
strange, and again any support to solve this would be really appreciated.
The code - previously this worked with SR-1, but with SP-3 now fails:
Private WordApplication As Word.Applicatio n
WordApplication = DirectCase(Crea teObject("Word. Application"),
Word.Applicatio n)
WordDocument = WordApplication .Documents.Open ("MyDocFile.Doc ")
Dim Search As Word.Find = WordApplication .Selection.Find
' ** FAILURE occurs here... when ClearFormatting called an ActiveX Object
not found error occurs.
' ** Debugger quits if you try to run next line and breaking on
Search.ClearFor matting and trying to watch
' ** the object also causes Debugger to quit - at this point
Word.Applicatio n seems to be null...
Search.ClearFor matting()
Search.Text = SubstanceName & "=" & Substance & ControlChars.Cr &
TreatmentName & "=" & Treatment & ControlChars.Cr & SubjectName & "=" &
Subject
Search.Replacem ent.Text = ""
Search.Forward = True
Search.Wrap = Word.WdFindWrap .wdFindContinue
Search.Format = False
Search.MatchCas e = True
Search.MatchWho leWord = False
Search.MatchWil dcards = False
Search.MatchSou ndsLike = False
Search.MatchAll WordForms = False
Search.Execute( )
Many thanks for your help,
Kind Regards,

Molly,
There is a Microsoft solution to this, you have to re-register the word
type library.
Use this batch file.
Echo.Automation Client Fix v1.00
Echo.
Echo.This fix re-registers the Word library files due to corruption from
service pack and other updates.
Echo.This is a known Microsoft bug with Office and occurs due to the
re-use of unique Interface ID's (GUID).
Echo.
Echo.Microsoft Reference: Q292744 - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=292744
Echo.
"C:\WINNT\SYSTE M32\URTTemp\Reg tlib.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\m sword9.olb"
Echo.
Echo.Registrati on Complete
Echo.

There appears to be a number of options to take to support multiple

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
