DLL & COM & ActiveX: Word 10.0 Object Library

• epowers66 / 104 / Sat, 30 Jan 2010 07:42:00 GMT / Comments (0)
• I have an application that automates MS Word. The app functions properly with Word 2000 but when run on a system with Word XP it faults.
  
  Here is a snippet of the problem code.
  
  Set SoapNote = New Word.Application
  Set SoapDoc = SoapNote.Documents.Add(TemplateName) 'Code Faults here
  
  With SoapNote.Selection.Find 'Code Faults Here
  .ClearFormatting
  .Text = SearchField(x)
  .Execute Forward:=True
  End With
  
  With Clipboard
  .Clear
  .SetText ReplacementText(x)
  SoapNote.Selection.Paste
  .Clear
  End With
  
  In design Mode running the Project generates a run time
  error -2147221163(80040155)
  
  Method 'Find' of object 'Selection' failed.
  
  I have tried creating a new object of type
  (Word.Application.Selection) If I change the code
  accordingly to access methods of the selection object I
  get an error on the line I am trying to set the Object
  Reference.
  
  What is different in 10.0 and what should I do in my code
  to accomodate these changes.
  
  Thanks
