Problem closing document

eduzs · #1 05-16-2025, 02:22 AM

I use Word 2019 + Windows 10, any code that closes the document without saving changes causes Word to crash (closes all open documents, reopen asking for safe mode), a simple example:

Code:

Private Sub Document_Open()
MsgBox "Hi"
Set odoc = ActiveDocument
odoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "Hi"
odoc.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub

It started suddenly.

Only occurs when running from automatic procedure (like Document_Open).
Do not occurs when running by keyboard shortcut.
Does not ocurrs in Office 2010.
I have already tried reinstalling and to update Office.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It certainly doesn't do that here. May I suggest that you reboot the PC (as Word has a bad habit of storing error conditions after a crash) before trying again. is the example code in the document template or the normal template? If the problem persists it seems likely that the template is corrupt. See also What to do when Word crashes.

This is in "ThisDocument" object.
This is a entire new docm I created just to test.

All documents are based on, and remain connected to, a template. In this case it is probably your Normal.dotm.

The "ThisDocument" module is present in a template, including Normal.dotm as well as a document, so you haven't really told us where your code is.

Suddenly the problem disappeared.
Thanks all.
