Automation Error Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

[KM8888]

Hi all,

One user has been experiencing this error that isn't recreatable by other users or myself and happens pretty frequently with them. It's happening in an Access Function where I pop-up a word document and automate some bookmarks within it. That error pops up and references this line

Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Now I'm thinking it's not so much a problem in the code and a specific CPU issue but the information about this is the most limited I've seen in a long while so I can't make much out of what's causing this or how to fix. Has anybody else encountered this? And what was done to fix? Responses always appreciated

Tks!

I would think you would get that error because you are not closing or de-referencing an object somewhere, you get it in C++ if you have unhandled return value, I would think at the VBA level it would be poorly structured exits or not closing an object used in a loop.

Thanks for the response! Yeah I'm not sure, there's no looping being done and I do release the word objects at the end of execution so it's a bit bizarre. I implemented calling the code from a vbs as a work around and that seemed to work :S
