Enumerated values when using late binding for Office applications 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace references to office so I can use late bindings and not rely on a specific version of word/excel/outlook.

However, replacing all my variable declaration to just 'Object' instead of 'Word.Application' now means the application won't compile because I have used enumetated types which now don't exist?

How do I fix this, or have I now got to simply trawl the web trying to find each enumerated types actual values.

Thanks,
1DMF.

You'll find the value of named constant in the immediate window (Ctrl-G) of the relevant application or with the Object browser (F2).

Hope This Helps, PH.

so if i want to know the value of a word constant, I open word, and then press F2.

And type the enumerated type where to find its value?

Right gotcha , what you failed to say was use the ? (question mark) and then the enum type , to find its value!

it's like pulling teeth at times, but got there in the end.

Thanks PHV.
