Hi,
I searched high and low for an example on how to establish a link with Word
using VB Express and the .Net Framework 2.0 in it. The code should link with
the running instance if one's there or by creating a new instance if not.
And some robustness as to when the user closes Word midstream for some
reason.
The idea is to use Word with a set of templates to create a more
sophisticated billing/quoting paper output engine while allowing pre-print
manual editing.
Some sample code :
Dim w As Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. Application
w = New Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word. Application
w.Documents.Add (WORDTEMPLATERO OT & "\" & WORDTEMPLATEQUO TE)
....
The above (1) creates a new instance even when an instance already runs and
(2) crashes if Word is manually closed and the .Add method is called again
later in the software.
I struggle a bit from my VB6/COM to VB .Net migration.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Philip
