Get instances of Winword.exe

[tvjraman]

Visual Basic 6

I use Getobject() to get the object of Word application.

I always get the first instance of Winword.exe

I have a macro in another instance of Winword.exe

I need to get the object of the second or third instance of Winword.exe

I am able to get the caption, threadid, processid, class.

How can I use Getobject() in Visualbasic to point to a specific instance of Winword.

In the alternate, can I use Getobject() on successive instances of Winword.exe untill the correct instance is identified

Can anyone help

Thanks

HI..



i think there is no way to do that, but you can create Word object with specified file that you wanna to open



[CODE=vb]

Dim WordObj As Object

Set Wordobject = GetObject("C:\Y ourfile.doc", "Word.Document" )

[/CODE]
