Hello ufobaby,

First thing to do is to make it positional. Then, if you want to keep named constants in place, define them explicitly or through some included file.

const wdGoToLine=3
const wdGoToTable=2
const wdGoToAbsolute=1
dim icount : icount=-1
WRD.Selection.GoTo wdLine, wdGoToAbsolute, icount
WRD.Selection.GoTo wdGoToTable, wdGoToAbsolute, icount

regards - tsuji

Correction:

An obvious typo:
[tt]dim icount : icount=[red]1[/red][/tt]

tsuji,
thanks for the response,

but i guess the wdLine is some parameter defined for the GoTo function in MS Word. creating constants will not help... nevertheless i tried the same


now for some odd reason it gives and error

ASP 1077

Server.CreateObject Failed

Invalid ProgID. For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at:

Where are you trying to tell it to go?
It looks like you want it to go to the next line?

Try:

WRD.Selection.GoToNext wdGoToLine '3
WRD.Selection.TypeText vbCrLf

ufobaby,

That is my sloppy mistake. I should list wdLine instead of wdGoToLine! according to your original script. Sorry. The constant should therefore be explicited for it:

[tt] const wdLine=5[/tt]

[ufobaby]

will list down very specific steps am trying ti achieve.

1.Open the Word document
2. Goto the First line
3. From there go to the first Table
4. start inserting data in the Table Cell one after another
5. Save and close the file
6. give the user a link of file on the server.

but now the "Server.CreateObject itself is generating error the one mentioned in the previous post "Error 1077"

pls pls pls help .... this is got the whole project stuck
