Hi

I am having a bit of a problem with word 2002

following on from an older post (see below the line)

I was getting a runtime error 5535 in 2007 when the text (source file)
contained Unicode and I selected windows default when opening

once I had discovered this and selected utf-8 on opening it worked fine in
07 and 2000

however in word 2002 when I open the word file I don't get the option to
select the text encoding of the source file and I get the same runtime error
5535

any thought or ways to get this option back would be most appreciated

see below the line for my original post

Thanks
Craig

Sorry

I think I have found the problem

it was the encoding of the text if I open the datasource as 'windows
default' I get the error when it try's to do the mail merge

if I open the text datasource as Unicode utf8 it works fine

there was some German characters in the text

thanks for the input though

Beyond the fact that it means
"Application-defined or object-defined error"
it's difficult to say without knowing what your code is doing.

Is your code trying to do an OpenDataSource, or access the MailMerge
object or its DataSource property? Or what?

Hi

I am getting this error code '5535' while running a vb macro to do a mail
merge in word 2007, I don't get it when I run the same macro through word
2002(xp) or 2000

can any one explain what this error code means

thanks very much

OK, not sure on this as Word 2003 fixed some problems in Word 2002 to do
with data sources and this could be one of them. The following article /may/
be relevant even though it seems only to be about Word 2003:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834948

Otherwise, I have one more idea which needs a bit more research.
