donnyh13 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hi all, I had created a script back in november with the latest at that time of autoit, it worked and then I didnt need it since. now I have downloaded the latest auto it on a different computer and copied the same script over. it works except for when it get to the spot where its supposed to open a word doc. this wont work. I have tried making a new script solely meant to open a word doc, and cannot get it to open, what am I doing wrong? this is my code,#include <Word.au3> Local $location = InputBox( "Location.", "What is the name of the file including the extension, {for example .rtf}") Sleep ( 3000) Local $WordCreate = _Word_Create() Sleep ( 3000) Local $path = @ScriptDir & "\"&$location Sleep ( 3000) _Word_DocOpen( $WordCreate, $path,)I would normally run the script it would prompt for where its located, which I would enter the name including the extension, for example "open.rtf". which is located in the same place im running my script from. Is there something im missing?? something that changed with a recent update?thanks LibreOffice UDF ; Scite4AutoIt Spell-Checker Using LibreOffice Spoiler "Life is chiefly made up, not of great sacrifices and wonderful achievements, but of little things.

DakotaSamuel Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Your code has a few typos. Try this:#include <Word.au3> Local $location = InputBox( "Location.", "What is the name of the file including the extension, {for example .rtf}") Local $WordCreate = _Word_Create() Local $path = @ScriptDir & "\" & $location _Word_DocOpen( $WordCreate, $path)And I don't believe the sleeps are needed either. -DakotaSamuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaSamuel Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What versions of Autoit and Word do you have installed? -DakotaSamuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisies Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for the replies, I did try the code, still nothing, I run it and it just runs and goes away, the word I specify doesnt open.no erroes etc. im wondering if it is something to do with my computer? You have no error checking, so It wouldn't report an error.Does this display an error? #include <Word.au3> Local $location = InputBox( "Location.", "What is the name of the file including the extension, {for example .rtf}") Local $WordCreate = _Word_Create() Local $path = @ScriptDir & "\" & $location _Word_DocOpen( $WordCreate, $path) If @Error Then Msgbox(0,'',"_Word_DocOpen returned @error: " & @error) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyh13 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Kaisies, woops, I thought you meant the syntax check type errors. I tried your code and it returned code 1 The installer says 3.3.12.0 for autoit. I am actually using WPS writer ( which worked before with the old code) that version is 9.1.0.4758Thanks LibreOffice UDF ; Scite4AutoIt Spell-Checker Using LibreOffice Spoiler "Life is chiefly made up, not of great sacrifices and wonderful achievements, but of little things.

water Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 @error = 1 means: $oAppl is not an objectIt looks like _Word_Create already returned an error. I suspect there is no MS Word installed on your machine. donnyh13 1 My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs: Active Directory (NEW 2024-07-28 - Version 1.6.3.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki ExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts OutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki OutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - Download Outlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki PowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki Task Scheduler (2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs: Excel - Example Scripts - Wiki Word - Wiki Tutorials: ADO - Wiki WebDriver - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
