Default Can not set column width by code

I try to generate a MS Word document from database by Word automation code,
such as €śWord.Document.Add€ť. Everything is OK. I can render data from
database and create new doc file with designed contents.

But one thing is wrong. I can not set column width in a table. When
executing a line of code, I always get error message, said €śAn unhandled
exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in
MyAppName.exe€ť and €śAdditional information: Cannot access individual columns
in this collection because the table has mixed cell widths.€ť.

The line code is:
objWordTable.Columns(1).Width = 150

Its not about width. I move this code around, and the error message
sometimes is changed to €śobject has been deleted€ť.

I use VB.NET. I think, its nothing to do the code. I run some code in
another computer, the code just fine. So, it may be something about my MS
Word settings (options settings in my machine), but I dont know how to
correct it. Its real a noise and I can not continue to do further
programming.

Anyone has idea? If this is not right newsgroup to post, please point me a
new newsgroup.
Thanks ahead.
