Word Problem

[Guest]

I have created a template with bookmarks. The code runs just fine. THe new
document displays as it should,but after I close it Word continous to run.
The only way I can stop it from running is to go into Task Manager delete the
Word.exe that is still running or bring my system down. Can someone tell me
what I am doing wrong. Here is the code that I have commented out because I
couldn't get it to end Word.exe. At one time I did have close and exit apps
but that didn't work either.

Hi Cyndy,

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but normally I'd probably do
something like this:

Dim wdApp as Word.Application
Dim docD As Word.Document
...

Set wdApp = CreateObject(,"Word.Application")
Set docD = wdApp.Documents.Add("C:\Test\StatementofWork.dot")

'Do stuff with docD
...

'If desired, save it and close it
docD.Save "C:\Test\SavedFile.doc"
docD.Close
Set DocD = Nothing

'Otherwise, close without saving
docD.Close False
Set DocD = Nothing

'If there's any possibility that other documents will have
'been opened, use something like this to make sure they close
Do While wdApp.Documents.Count > 0
wdApp.Documents(1).Close False
Loop

'Quit Word
wdApp.Quit
Set wdApp = Nothing

When you're automating Word (or Excel), it's best to avoid using the
Selection object where possible. So instead of navigating to a bookmark
and using TypeText, just use

docD.Bookmarks("MyBookmark").Range.Text = _
Nz(rst.Fields("MyField"), "NULL VALUE")

I've supplied a substitute value for Nz() because its default, zero,
didn't seem appropriate.
