RE: [PHP-WIN] COM Problem

Well, first off, CTL+ALT+DEL and see if you have any zombie procs of MSword laying around and kill them. When i was developing an Excel COM program, the EXCEL.exe would hang around in memory and screw up the "legit" EXCEL process (beucase of issues with the COM implementation < 4.2.1) Lines like this are just asking for trouble: > $word->Documents->Open->FileName[$wordDoc]->ConfirmConversions > [False]->ReadOnly[False]-> > AddToRecentFiles[False]->PasswordDocument[""]->PasswordTemplat > e[""]->Revert[False]->WritePasswordDocument[""]->WritePassword > Template[""]->Format["wdOpenFormatAuto"]; I know it's a pain, but try splitting that up into one-call-per-line, and then it'll be a pieced of cake to see where the error is. *always* check error messages and return status of calls. and upgrade to the newest version PHP (if not already running it). --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation ScottH@eac.com Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: R.S.
