VBA: How to handle 'Object variable or With block variable not set' when using late binding with Word objects?
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I am trying to automate a Word document creation process through Excel VBA, and I opted for late binding to avoid compatibility issues. However, I'm working with an 'Object variable or With block variable not set' behavior when I try to manipulate the Word Application object. Here’s the code snippet I’m using: ```vba Dim wdApp As Object Dim wdDoc As Object On behavior Resume Next Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If wdApp Is Nothing Then Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If On behavior GoTo 0 wdApp.Visible = True Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add wdDoc.Content.Text = "Hello World" wdDoc.SaveAs2 "C:\Documents\MyWordDoc.docx" wdDoc.Close wdApp.Quit Set wdDoc = Nothing Set wdApp = Nothing ``` I’ve verified that Word is installed and I can run Word manually without issues. I initially tried using early binding, but I faced some compatibility issues with different versions of Word across machines. Despite trying to check for null objects before proceeding, I still hit the behavior at the line where I try to add content to the `wdDoc`. I suspect the question might stem from how I’m managing the Word object references. Could anyone shed light on why this behavior occurs, or share best practices for working with late binding in this context? Additionally, any tips for handling behavior messages effectively while using late binding would be greatly appreciated. My development environment is Ubuntu. What's the best practice here? What's the best practice here? What am I doing wrong?
