Using Word 2000 in an application

[Helen Trim]

I have an application that allows users to edit documents
using Word 2000. Sometimes it opens Word but the toolbars
are missing. Users find this very frustrating. I can't
track it down as it is intermittent.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?

I create the class with:

Public Class WordCreateLetterClass
Public WithEvents WordApp As Word.Application

Public Sub New()

WordApp = New Word.Application
Me.WordApp.WindowState =
Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMaximize

End Sub
End Class

and instantiate it with:

Letter = New WordCreateLetterClass
Letter.WordApp.Documents.Open(FileName:=gstrTemplate,
ReadOnly:=True, AddToRecentFiles:=False)

Letter.WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 ' PrintPreview
Letter.WordApp.Visible = True
Letter.WordApp.Application.Activate()


Thanks in advance
Helen

Hi Helen,

What version of MS Word are you using?

Are you also using the PIA's?

The app uses Word 2000. It doesn't use the PIA.
