WORD NOT SAVING

[webmonger]

I create a document in my app which can either be invible or visible prior to a save. One user in Germany has stated that the document is not saved anywhere on his PC both to the default 'My Documents' or to a named folder path.

Has anyone familiar with German windows any ideas on this?

I have used

loWord.ActiveDocument.SAVEAS(savefile, 0)  &&0 is Word Doc FileFormat:=wdFormatText

Webmonger,

I'd be surprised if this was an issue specific to German Windows (although I might be wrong). I think it's more likely to do with the user's settings, such as the setting for the default document directory.

Are you specifying a path as part of the document name? If not, the document will be saved in whichever folder the user specified in Tools / Options, which is not necessarily My Documents.

Thanks Mike

I'd forgotten about the path option - obviously another question to ask.

Savefile variable is either

lpath = SelDirDlg(cDialogTitle, , )
		savefile = lpath + '\'+'ExhibitCatalogue.doc'
		cMessage =  'Document completed and saved in your folder .'

	ELSE

	
		savefile = 'ExhibitCatalogue.doc'
