error msg. "External component has thrown an exception"
My fax system, automates MS Word and does a Mail/Merge operation using a Word
document and an Access database. I look for marker characters (?) in the word document and replace them with merge fields. The program would stop at the Find function and give the error message: €śExternal component has thrown an exception€ť . Here is a code excerpt with the problem statement highlighted: ' Go to top of page ' ---------------------------- CW("Insert Merge Fields") appWD.Selection.HomeKey(Unit:=WdUnits.wdStory) ' Find 1st question mark (SENDER_NAME) ' ------------------------------------ With appWD.Selection.Find .ClearFormatting() .Text = "?" .Execute(Forward:=True) End With appWD.Selection.Find.Execute() ' Create Sender Name merge field ' ------------------------------ appWD.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields.Add(Range:=a ppWD.ActiveWindow.Selecton.Range, _ Name:="SenderName") I first removed fix KB929061 €“ Problem persisted I then removed KB920816 €“ Problem persisted When I removed KB929063, everything started working. I wonder if its only KB929063 or a combination of the above that caused the problem. Hope someone can help. |
