Hi,

Can anyone tell me why this is not working? I get "runtime error 4248 - because no document is open" on the 'with activedocument" line although it is open and visible.

Thank you!

Code:

 
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open "\\Toolbox\bulletinboard\EIP_template.doc"
 
With ActiveDocument
.TextBox1.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A13").Value
.TextBox2.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("J7").Value
.TextBox3.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A10").Value
.TextBox4.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A16").Value
.TextBox5.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("C16").Value
.TextBox6.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A19").Value
.TextBox7.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A25").Value
.TextBox8.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A58").Value
.TextBox9.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("B7").Value
.TextBox10.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("E7").Value
.TextBox11.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A28").Value
.TextBox12.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("B30").Value
.TextBox13.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("C64").Value
.TextBox14.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("H55").Value
.TextBox15.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("A22").Value
.TextBox16.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("G7").Value
.SaveAs Filename:="\\Toolbox\bulletinboard\" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER").Range("J7").Value & ".htm", FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML
End With
End Sub

Hi joe,

Your ActiveDocument refernce is ambiguous. Try:

Code:

Dim ws As WorkSheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SDF & ER")
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open "//Toolbox/bulletinboard/EIP_template.doc"
With objWord.ActiveDocument
  .TextBox1.Value = ws.Range("A13").Value
  .TextBox2.Value = ws.Range("J7").Value
  .TextBox3.Value = ws.Range("A10").Value
  .TextBox4.Value = ws.Range("A16").Value
  .TextBox5.Value = ws.Range("C16").Value
  .TextBox6.Value = ws.Range("A19").Value
  .TextBox7.Value = ws.Range("A25").Value
  .TextBox8.Value = ws.Range("A58").Value
  .TextBox9.Value = ws.Range("B7").Value
  .TextBox10.Value = ws.Range("E7").Value
  .TextBox11.Value = ws.Range("A28").Value
  .TextBox12.Value = ws.Range("B30").Value
  .TextBox13.Value = ws.Range("C64").Value
  .TextBox14.Value = ws.Range("H55").Value
  .TextBox15.Value = ws.Range("A22").Value
  .TextBox16.Value = ws.Range("G7").Value
  .SaveAs FileName:="//Toolbox/bulletinboard/" & ws.Range("J7").Value & ".htm", FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML
End With

Paul, thank you so much - that's perfect! You've been so helpful on this MB I wish there was something I could do in return. Every now and then I check to see if there's a question I can answer to "pay it forward" but someone always beats me to it! Have a good one!
