Help with error message, creating word document 1

[upplepop]

I keep getting this error:
"Object doesn't support this property or method."

Here is my code:

Dim docObject As Object
Set docObject = CreateObject("word.application&quot
docObject.Visible = True
Set Document = docObject.Documents.Add _
("//ALTSP1/Database/Recommendation.dot&quot
txtCase.SetFocus
docObject.SaveAs (txtCase.Text + ".doc&quot
On Error Resume Next
docObject.UserControl = True


I want a command button that opens a Word document based on a template (recommendation.dot) and save it as the Case Number (ie 7834.doc) Also, if anyone can think of a way to use this same button to open the document if it has already been created, that would be a big help.

Thanks a lot.

upplepop,

What versions of Access/Word are you using? Make sure that your references include Word. Refer to the FAQ's in the Tek-tips access forums which may give you the examples that you need.

Also, here is a microsoft article

Good Luck!

"Object doesn't support..." usually means that you do not have the reference library selected. Go do a vb desitn mode and check references. Find ms WORD and make sure it is checked.

I have my Word and Office references. Are you guys sure there's nothing wrong with my code???

I just posted a similar question "create word doc"
I found code at p.299 of the Microsoft Access 2000 VBA book (by Callahan). The code is setout in my post. There are still bugs in it, but it does call up the word document and sends the designated fields to the templates bookmarks.
