MSWord2K... trouble opening multiple documents

[Gameboy9]

In the load event of this form: PUBLIC oWord

When I unload: RELEASE oWord

When I want to edit a proposal or two, I use this block:
TRY
oWord.Documents.Open(***)
CATCH && In case there's no Word open or Word was closed
oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application&quot
oWord.Documents.Open(***)
ENDTRY
oWord.Visible = .t.

Here's the problem though: I can open one document fine, but the program completly ignores me when I try to open a second document; it's like it didn't open at all.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks again!

Hi

The problem could be that the document is not available.
Otherwise it works.

But the way to go will be

IF ! FILE(cFile)
cFile = GETFILE("DOC&quot
ENDIF
IF !EMPTY(cFile)
IF VARTYPE(oWord) # "O"
oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application&quot
ENDIF
oWord.Documents.Open(***)
oWord.Visible = .t.
... whatever...
ENDIF

Hi

Sorry for the error...

IF ! FILE(cFile)
cFile = GETFILE("DOC&quot
ENDIF
IF !EMPTY(cFile)
IF VARTYPE(oWord) # "O"
oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application&quot
ENDIF
oWord.Documents.Open(cFile)
oWord.Visible = .t.
... whatever...
ENDIF

Ramani:

I solved my own problem - I had to use UNC because... that's how Netware Servers work; I don't assume drive letters... but I guess the particular UNC I was using was too long or something? I tried a shorter UNC and it worked fine.

I guess it had to be one of those limitations I keep running into.

Thanks for helping, though.
