Process to open a document

[Alan T]

I have created a mail merged document at run time.
However, I cannot open the document everytime, sometime it did not get
opened, sometimes it can.
The document may be Word or text file.

public static void OpenDocument(st ring aFilename)

{

IntPtr result;

Process convertProcess = new Process();

try

{

convertProcess. StartInfo.Domai n = "";

convertProcess. StartInfo.FileN ame = aFilename;

convertProcess. StartInfo.Creat eNoWindow = true;

convertProcess. StartInfo.Windo wStyle =
System.Diagnost ics.ProcessWind owStyle.Maximiz ed;

convertProcess. StartInfo.Stand ardErrorEncodin g = null;

convertProcess. StartInfo.Stand ardOutputEncodi ng = null;

convertProcess. StartInfo.UseSh ellExecute = true;

convertProcess. StartInfo.LoadU serProfile = false;

convertProcess. StartInfo.Passw ord = null;

convertProcess. StartInfo.UserN ame = "";

convertProcess. Start();

convertProcess. Dispose();

}

catch (Exception e)

{

try

{

convertProcess. Dispose();

}

catch

{

}

}


}

Text file? Text file sure cannot run macro. You are using VSTO or just VBA?

Re: Process to open a document

Hi,

The method I stated was written by C#, the parameter aFilename is the full
path file name.

Re: Process to open a document

Did you check the process? Can it be the program is running but the Word is
not appearing?

Re: Process to open a document

Why are you calling the Dispose() method immediately after Start()? Can
it be that the process is starting and then closing immediately?
