Word 2003 Object Variable or With Block variable not set

[JudyL]

I have a macro that copies text from one document to another. The macro is started from the document from which I am trying to copy text. I am getting an error when the macro tries to return to a specific document window that is open while copying text from another document window.

It get an Error 91 - Object Variable or With Block variable not set when it lands on

ActiveDocument.ActiveWinodw.Next.Activate

The other odd thing is that it only is happening on one machine.

JudyL,

I advise against using ActiveWhatever.

Use Specific objects, by assigning a Document object vairable to each document as you open (ThisDocument is the object where the code resides)

Second, need to see ALL your code.

I totally concur with Skip. It is much, much, better to use Document objects. Here is something that may help you started.

Dim SourceDoc As Document
Dim CopyToDoc As Document

' as you start the macro from the sourcing doc
Set SourceDoc = ActiveDocument

' now set the CopyToDoc
' if that doc is OPEN (but not active)
' and you know the name
Set CopyToDoc = Documents("[i]doc_name[/i]")

' if you want to add a new document to get
' your copied stuff
Set CopyToDoc = Documents.Add

In any case, now you can direct instructions to explicit documents.

SourceDoc.Paragraphs(2).Range.Copy

With CopyToDoc.Range
   .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
   .Paste
End With

Whatever you like.
