[Aravind Renjan]

i want to open a word doc in vb. i have opened it by giving the file name directly,but i want the file name to be given as per the selected name in a listbox and typed character in a textbox. i have typed the following code,

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Set objWord = New Word.Application
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open App.Path & "List1.text" & "Text1.txt.docx"
End Sub

but it is not working as the valuers are not coming please help!!

App.Path & "List1.text" & "Text1.txt.docx"
You must respect the commandline syntax to open a file.
Like:
If the Doc is in the path=

"C:\myprogram\Folder1\mydocument.docx"

if List1.text = "Folder1" and Text1.txt = "mydocument" then the code is=

objWord.Documents.Open App.Path & "\" & List1.text & "\" & Text1.txt & ".docx"

Thank you for your reply!
But still the file is not opening. The value selected in list is not coming.that is 'folder1' is not coming in the path to be opened.
please reply as soon as possible.

Can you give an example of the contents of the list and the other items?
Be cautious by the use of "App.Path" !!
Is the file to open in the folder or sub folder of the .VBP and other files ?
During the TEST RUN of the project the "App.path" is the folder where the .VBP and other files of the project are !!
During the run of the compiled .EXE it's the folder where the PROGRAM is !!
So the .DOC must always be in the folder (or sub folders) of the PROJECT or PROGRAM !!!

Ok. But the file opens if I put it out of the folder. But when in the folder then a box comes"F:/mydocument.docx"not found. So it is that the selected item name of list box is not coming in the path specified.
Please reply fast!
