Runtime Error 5834 Style?

[silentwolf]

Hi all I am new here,

and have already a question regardig a macro..
Unfortunatelly I am pretty new to word vba and can not finde a solution to this problem.
I like to write data from access to word .. the following code I got from a book but I recieve a error object not found..

Private Sub FillWithTypeText()

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    Dim appWord As Word.Application
    Dim doc As Word.Document
    Dim dbs As DAO.Database
    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
    
    Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    Set doc = appWord.Documents.Add

'insert format document titel
    With appWord.Selection
        .TypeText "Aktuelle Kontakte mit " _
            & Format(Date, "Long Date")
        .TypeParagraph
        .MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, count:=11, _
            Extend:=wdExtend
        .Font.Size = 14
        .Font.Bold = wdToggle
        .MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, count:=1
    End With
    
'insert two column table to hold contact data(one column for contact names, the other for user comments)
    doc.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
        NumRows:=1, _
        NumColumns:=2, _
        DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, _
        AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed
        
    With appWord.Selection.Tables(1)
        If .Style <> "Table Grid" Then
            .Style = "Table Grid"
        End If
        
        .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
        .ApplyStyleLastRow = False
        .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
        .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
        .ApplyStyleRowBands = True
        .ApplyStyleColumnBands = False
    End With
    
'insert contact Data from Access table into Word table:
    Set dbs = CurrentDb
    Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblKunden")
    Do While Not rst.EOF
        With appWord.Selection
            .TypeText rst![kunKundenAnzeigen]
            .MoveRight Unit:=wdCell, count:=2
        End With
        rst.MoveNext
    Loop
    
'Delete the last names alphabetically:
    doc.Tables(1).Select
    appWord.Selection.Sort excludeheader:=False, _
        fieldnumber:="Column 1", _
        sortfieldtype:=wdSortFieldAlphanumeric, _
        SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending
        
ErrorHandlerExit:
    Set appWord = Nothing
    Exit Sub
    
ErrorHandler:
    If Err = 429 Then
    
'Word is not running: open Word with createObject:
    Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Resume Next
    Else
        MsgBox "Error No: " & Err.Number _
        & " ; Description: " & Err.Description
        Resume ErrorHandlerExit
    End If
    
End Sub

The code jumpes from the line in red into the MsgBox Error No....

So what am I missing here in this code? The code is writen in VBA 2007 ... and I got 2010 but not sure if that makes a difference.



Maybe someone knows what has to be changed so the code can run.

Many thanks in advance!!

The following works fine for me:

'insert format document titel
    With appWord.Selection
        .TypeText "Aktuelle Kontakte mit " & Format(Date, "Long Date")
        .TypeParagraph
        .MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=11, Extend:=wdExtend
        .Font.Size = 14
        .Font.Bold = wdToggle
        .MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
        'insert two column table to hold contact data(one column for contact names, the other for user comments)
        .Tables.Add Range:=.Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=2, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed
        With .Tables(1)
          .Style = "Table Grid"
          .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
          .ApplyStyleLastRow = False
          .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
          .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
          .ApplyStyleRowBands = True
          .ApplyStyleColumnBands = False
        End With
    End With

Hi macropod,

thank you for your reply! So did you leave out the error handler with your code?
I have tried your code but with error handler and get still the same message..

Cheers

[macropod]

I didn't bother with the error-handling, which should not have any effect on the error you say you were getting. Indeed, the code could be further simplified. For example' leaving aside all the DAO-related code:

Sub Demo()

    Dim appWord As New Word.Application
    appWord.Documents.Add

'insert format document titel
    With appWord.Selection
        .TypeText "Aktuelle Kontakte mit " & Format(Date, "Long Date")
        .TypeParagraph
        .MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=11, Extend:=wdExtend
        .Font.Size = 14
        .Font.Bold = wdToggle
        .MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
        'insert two column table to hold contact data(one column for contact names, the other for user comments)
        .Tables.Add Range:=.Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=2, DefaultTableBehavior:=wdWord9TableBehavior, AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed
        With .Tables(1)
          .Style = "Table Grid"
          .ApplyStyleHeadingRows = True
          .ApplyStyleLastRow = False
          .ApplyStyleFirstColumn = True
          .ApplyStyleLastColumn = False
          .ApplyStyleRowBands = True
          .ApplyStyleColumnBands = False
        End With
    End With
    appWord.Visible = True
End Sub

Note: I wouldn't do my own coding your way - or the way I've outlined it in my replies. I've just tried to make minimal changes to your code.

If I were trying to start a new Word session only if Word wasn't already running, I'd use late binding code like:

Sub Demo()
Dim wdApp As Object, wdDoc As Object, bStrt As Boolean
' Test whether Word is already running.
On Error Resume Next
bStrt = False ' Flag to record if we start Word, so we can close it later.
Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
'Start Word if it isn't running
If wdApp Is Nothing Then
  Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
  If wdApp Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Can't start Word.", vbExclamation
    Exit Sub
  End If
  ' Record that we've started Word, so we can terminate it later.
  bStrt = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
wdApp.Visible = True
End Sub

or early binding code like:

Sub Demo()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document, bStrt As Boolean
' Test whether Word is already running.
On Error Resume Next
bStrt = False ' Flag to record if we start Word, so we can close it later.
Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
'Start Word if it isn't running
If wdApp Is Nothing Then
  Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
  If wdApp Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Can't start Word.", vbExclamation
    Exit Sub
  End If
  ' Record that we've started Word, so we can terminate it later.
  bStrt = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
wdApp.Visible = True
End Sub

Hi,
thanks again for your reply!
I will have a look at your code in detail tomorrow!

Cheers!

If the error is occurring on the line you highlighted in Red then the most obvious conclusion would be that the Table style named "Table Grid" does not exist in your document.

In English versions of Word, this would surprise me because it is a built-in style name. However, perhaps your document is not created in English and that stylename is something else in your language. You can change the code to any Table stylename that does exist in your document.

Hi Guessed,
thanks for your reply!
The code works now as I did change or added a line of code to reference to the active document.
However as I am pretty new to this forum I have not yet figured out how to set the solved icon to my threat.
Maybe someone could let me know so I am not bothering anyone with a solved threat here

Many thanks

Silentwolf

Oh this is an old thread.
it must be getting late here lol!
Sorry I completly forogt about this threat and thought it is a new one!! My appologies!
I guess I will look into it again and go through all your suggestions once again and try to work it out!

Cheers for helping!
