The problem is, it works on some computers but not on others--even when Word is installed on them. What could be causing that? An out-of-date .DLL? The version of Word they're using? Or...? -- Download Blackbird Crow Raven's book "STILL CASTING SHADOWS: Two American Families 1620-2006" (.exe and .pdf): http://cc.borland.com/ccweb.exe/listing?id=23106 Back to top Patrick Guest Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2005 8:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Word installed, but automation doesn't work Quote: What could be causing that?

I get remote procedure call errors using Excel if I overlap to open methods (and don't give Excel time to close in between), never get an good AV info out of the deal though...

I have no idea on how those work or if they would cause an issue. Sorry.

If you execute just the print icon commandbars.item['Sstandard'].tonrolts.item['Print'].execute it will not always work because the ONACTION property of this icon may be set by a third party to call other procedure or function from God knows where. 2. If you execute just print methods and have no printers installed you will be getting an exception. 3. if you have printers sach as FAX MODEMS than you will get a problem approching them this way and I still don't know a solution to it.
