I am trying to open Word Documents randomly from a Database using VB.NET. My
local machine has a Word Template Version 5.x and the Database contains Word
documents belonging to both Template Versions 5.x and 6.x. So when my code
tries to open a word Doc of template version 6.x , i get Windows generated
Prompt message of 'RUNTIME ERROR 13: TYPE MISMATCH'. How to catch this as an
exception and continue further in my code.
Unless and until i select one of the buttons of this prompt, it is not going
further. This is a bad idea for real time application (production). I want to
bypass this prompt. Infact i dont want this Windows Prompt to Pop-Up. Any
idea???????????

There was a Word 5.0 for the Macintosh.... That might be what he's talking
about. Or possibley Word 2.0.
