Saving a document created with vb in word
i have externally created a word document from my vb application, and it has opened word, added a document (documents.add) and written stuff to the selection.
how do you save the document without a prompt as a certain filename... i dont want it to be called "document 1.txt" or anything like that. OR... if i MUST have a prompt, (as in, if i just go.. documents.save true, true) how do i allow it to overwrite files already there?
thanx

Do u want to save the word.doc without any prompt ???
ASKER
yes... i want to save it as a specific filename without prompting
also, how do you kill off the application when you are finished with it... is there a Word.Application.Close?

wdPromptToSaveChanges, or wdSaveChanges
Change the below Prompt to save without prompt :
On Error GoTo errorHandler
ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSav
errorHandler:
If Err = 4198 Then MsgBox "Document was not closed"
to kill the Application use :
goWord.quit
set goWord = Nothing
Above is just the command to close opened word. Add some coding to check activedocument.

I never played with tabs by automation so can't help on this one.
