water Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 You need to add some error checking to your code! Is MyFunc called at all? Does your Pen always get drive letter "F:"?

kylomas Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) HarshChaturvedi, The code you posted fails due to obj create failure. I'm not sure why. When you move the WORD func outside of MyFunc it works. This is a better practice anyway as you want to exit registered functions as soon as possible. I got it to run like this... #include <Word.au3> $DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL = "0x00008000" $WM_DEVICECHANGE = 0x0219 local $open GUICreate("") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_DEVICECHANGE, "MyFunc") Func MyFunc($hWndGUI, $MsgID, $WParam, $LParam) If $WParam == $DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL Then $open = true EndIf EndFunc ;==>MyFunc While 1 $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg() if $open then Global $WordApp = _WordCreate("j:\testfile.doc", 1) endif if $open then $open = false WEnd note - my thumb drive was device "J:" kylomas edit: grammar Edited October 18, 2013 by kylomas Forum Rules Procedure for posting code "I like pigs.
