Automation of MS Word

I all,

I have a VB.Net app that words just fine when automating
MS Word 2003, when Word is part of MS Office Professional
edition (even with SP1 installed). However, if I install the app
onto a machine wunning MS Word 2003 that is part of
MS Office Small Business Edition 2003, it can not load
and run the type library needed to perform the automation
tasks? I get a system.io.filen otfound exception raised,
saying that the specified module can not be found.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this doesn't
work with the SBE of MS office 2003, and how I can sort
them out?

Many thanks,

Jason.

Something is wrong there. IO is a file namespace for working with files.
Some file that it is trying to find is missing. Check whatever files are
mentioned to see if they are where they are suppose to be.

Thanks for the post. However I don't think that any
files are being loaded at that point in time.

The NEW method in the class is as follows:

Public Sub New()
Try
myWord = New Word.Applicatio n
myDoc = New Word.Document
Catch ex As System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

At this point no files are being loaded. I assume that it
is trying to load the type library but can't because
it is incompatible, even though it is configured as
as local file and placed into the application folder.

Any other thoughts?

Jason.

Hi Jason,

Change the "Catch ex as System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n" to "Catch ex as
Exception" and do a Debug.Writeline (ex.Tostring) and copy and paste it
here.

Also send the app to sc************@ nospamyahoo.com (remove no spam).

I would like to see what you are dealing with. If you are correct, we
are doing a lot of Office automation around here and I would like to
know if we are going to encounter similar issues.

Kelly,

thanks for sticking with me on this. I'll get what you ask ed for to
you as soon as I can. Most of our users have full-blown
office 2003, so I need to wait until a SBE office PC is
available to do some testing on. It should be by early
next week.

Regards,

Jason.

No problem. Otherwise you can just zip the project up and email to me.
