MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / March 2006Runtime Error 91
I have a VB6 appplictaion that includes the following to do a spell check using Word: Dim SpellCheck As Object Set SpellCheck = CreateObject("Word.Application") SpellCheck.Visible = False SpellCheck.Documents.add SpellCheck.ActiveDocument.Select SpellCheck.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling When I run using with Office Professional Word 2003 SP2 all works fine. But I have someone who runs using the Student Edition of Word 2003 SP2 and they always get runtime error 91 object not set error. I have not been able to trace through but could this result simply because the Student edition is being used? G'day John Bennett <JohnBennett@discussions.microsoft.com>, AFAIK the student edition is identical, just the purchaser has signed off to their student status and thus qualifies for a discount. I could be wrong though.

The error 91 occurs because the On Error rouine gets control and does .Quit to close things down. But the error handler gets control because the CreateObject("Word.Application") is failing on the Student Edition. But I am not sure why. > G'day John Bennett <JohnBennett@discussions.microsoft.com>, > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >I have not been able to trace through but could this result simply because > >the Student edition is being used? G'day John Bennett <JohnBennett@discussions.microsoft.com>, hmm, i wonder if said student has been a bit dodgy with his install and if the word.application has been defined. have you asked him to delete the installation and re-install?

Not yet. I did confirm that Word.Application appears to be correct in his registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. But this may not mean that all is okay. I also noted that he is running Norton NAV and script blocker has attached itself to Word. But he disabled script blocker and the problem remained. > G'day John Bennett <JohnBennett@discussions.microsoft.com>, > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >> >I have not been able to trace through but could this result simply because > >> >the Student edition is being used? Found the problem and a solution in my situation. The problem PC had Norton script blocker attached to Word. While this could be removed from the registry entry this seems like a bad idea as long as Norton is installed. But changing the CreateObject to: Set SpellCheck = CreateObject("Word.Application", "localhost") has resolved the issue. No side effects in my situation as I am only using the spell check function of MS Word. > G'day John Bennett <JohnBennett@discussions.microsoft.com>, > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >> >I have not been able to trace through but could this result simply because > >> >the Student edition is being used? |
