OLE integration with Microsoft Word using VB 6.0

[cj92713696]

Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to OLE programming and I have a question for you gurus! =)

I'm trying to write a Visual Basic 6.0 application that replaces script variables from an existing Word document with another value and saves the document as a filename other than the existing template.

Thus far ...

I have already created my Word document inserting an opening &quot;<&quot;, than a variable name I create, with a closing &quot;>&quot;. I need my Visual Basic app. to replace the variable with different text.

Here's an example ...

---
Dear <customer>,

Annual profits are not in accordance ...
---

I'd like to use a replace command if it exists, but I have not had any luck finding it. Just to replace all occurences of <customer> with something else.

Your help is very much appreciated!

Thanks,
CJ

You can programmatically create and edit Word documents from VB by making a reference to the Word Object Library. Look in Project References.

I have already instantiated the Word object, but do not know the command to replace.
