Word Visual Basic error

Hi Matt,

If you take a look at the code I posted in #15 in this thread: https://www.msofficeforums.com/vba/7...ction-etc.html you'll see that I work with up to four documents at a time, each of which is managed via a variable and none of which I need to make active for processing purposes. The 'master' document for each set is defined and managed via:

Code:

Set DocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strInFold & "\" & strFile, AddTorecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With DocSrc
  ...
  End with

As for the programmer not anticipating '[Compatibility Mode]' in the window name, the same oversight probably made the software incompatible with any window-naming customizations a client might do.

Hi

I came across this post when I had a very similar problem. In the end I found that if I went to Folder Options (for any folder), and the View tab. if you have it set to Hide extensions for known file types (the default) the mailings will not work, but if you take this option off, if is all fine!

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it worked for me.
