MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2004Normal.dot is held by other application
Hi, I am using C# to open a Word instance, then do mailmerge in my document. After that, my program will try to close Word instance. At this moment, Word will pop up an question: "The file is in use by another application or user (C:\Documents and Settings\...\Normal.dot)". That's because I have another Word application opened. The Normal.dot is help by this Word application. Is there any way that I can ignore this question or prevent Word to popup this question in my program when trying to close the Word instance that I created? Thanks in advance. Eric Hi Eric, Normally, I wouldn't expect automation such as you describe to do anything to alter the Normal.dot template, which makes me wonder what other stuff (Addins?) is running in Word that might trigger this? Do you have a test system where you can install Word in its default state to test on? Is there a reason you'd be automating another instance of Word, rather than an existing one? > I am using C# to open a Word instance, then do mailmerge in my document. > After that, my program will try to close Word instance.

I will try to use existing Word instance if there is instance opened, instead of creating a new one. Thanks for your help.
