source.close not working,

[simon1tan]

Word 2010
Hi, in my VBA I'm opening a external word doc to get some text:

Set sourcedoc = Application.Documents.Open(sFile)

Once I get the text, I try to close this document:
oFFld("Text2").Result = sourcedoc.Range
sourcedoc.Close

I'm getting an error message "Runtime error 4198. Command failed". This seems to work pretty well in Word 2003. When I click on debug and continue to run it, the document closes without error. Seems like I'm trying to close it too fast or something. Any ideas?

hi,

I'm getting an error message "Runtime error 4198. Command failed".

On what statement?

sourcedoc.Close

haha. error occurs on the sourcedoc.Close statement. I kinda of have it figured out by opening the document visible=false and readonly=true. Not even using sourcedoc.close anymore. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues down the road.
