Visual Bsic 2008 with Word 2007 using .Execute(Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)

In Visual Basic 2008 SP!
I am trying to open word 2007 with a template and replace a range with a dataset record.

I get an error at .Execute(Replace:=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)

error is:
COMExeption was unhandled
This command is not available.

If I use try .. catch or on error the the replacement still happens. But I want to avoid this error from happening at all.

Is there a better way to construct the statement ?
I have tried 2 different methods to prevent this but have come up with the same result.
Private Sub rcPILetters_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rcPILetters.SelectedIndexChanged
