Getting error returned from Word object

[maestro1024]

I am trying to log information to a word object.

It always starts word but then I am not seeing this all the time but sometimes I get the following error. It is like the path is bad maybe but I am not sure how to debug what path it thinks it has (if that is really the problem). I have no idea why this is occuring. Any ideas what I should look at?

OK

Line 583 (File "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\Word.au3"):

$o_object.SaveAs ($s_FilePath, $i_Format, $f_LockComments, $s_Password, $f_AddToRecentFiles, $s_WritePassword, $f_ReadOnlyRecommended)

$o_object.SaveAs ($s_FilePath, $i_Format, $f_LockComments, $s_Password, $f_AddToRecentFiles, $s_WritePassword, $f_ReadOnlyRecommended)^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

ok.

I no how to recreate.

If I have a full path name like

C:\test\test.doc

that will crash.

if I use

test.doc

Does the word object require me to strip off the path? Or should it handle that full path name?

How/where are you creating the document?

_WordDocSave saves the document to the same location it was created.

_WordDocSaveAs will allow you to save it in a different location.

It will be easier to help if you show your document creation code, including any file path you are designating when creating the doc.

I was able to use pathsplit and get just the name and extension. After I pass in just the name and extension I am ok.

It was my bug anyway. Here is the code I use to log. I was add the directory again which would not make sense.

CODE

Func LogToWord($wordLogFileName,$text)

$oWordApp = _WordCreate(@ScriptDir & "/" & $wordLogFileName)

$oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWordApp, 0)

$oSelection = $oWordApp.Selection

$oSelection.TypeText($text)

$oSelection.TypeParagraph()

EndFunc
