Hi,

Recently i have writen a VBA code that works in Win XP but when i run the same code in Win 98, a run-time error occurs. It displays the following..

Run-time error "5941":
The requested member of the collection does not exist.



Here are part of my code:

Sub repeatHeader()
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=36
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=21, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=3, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=2, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True :tazz: <-------- THIS PART IS HIGHTLIGHTED WHEN I PRESS DEBUG BUTTON
End Sub



I have been trying to troubleshoot this for a long time can someone plzzz help me ??

thats the thing with VBA

Umm ok here goes

I am guessing that you are using and adding references.
(Tools, references)

I am also guessing that since u were using xp, the referneces were all updated like say Microsoft Word 11.0 or 10.0,

but in win98 the references were old , its probably Microsoft 8.0 or 9.0

i am guessing (not sure) that if u go

tools, references (in VB Editor)

that you can still make the project work

theres an option to browse. If u know what the file is called (Microsoft Word 11.0 or 10.0) than u could add it in and add in the check beside the reference

Im not sure if it works

but plz try it out and let me know

Thks for the quick reply ;)

Well i did enable those in the reference. When the code rus in XP, i added Microsoft Word 10.0 object library and Excel 9.0 object library. (I'm not sure y there isn't excel 10.0.. the latest is 9.0)
As for Win98 it was Microsoft Word 10.0 object library and Excel 10.0.

The Run-Time Error 5941 still occurs.... :tazz:

Hi,

thx for the effort i will try to follow the link and will get back to you if i ever solve the solution.

Btw do you mind if i ask you another qns ?

My code is to suppose to generate a monthly report. Using the VBA, supposely by clicking the CommandButton4 will auto generate the report.

i edited the code, now i edited my code and not only tat it cant runs in XP, the error 5941 occur at a different place. When i click the CommandButton4, the report is generating halfway but stop at the part "Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True". I stop the code and attempt to run it again. Now another runtime error 4605 occur.... :tazz: ;) ;)

I shall paste the whole code you can have a better understanding of it.
Not sure u can understand wad im saying as i am very bad at explaining so any question feel free to ask i will try my best to answer.

Code:

Dim AppWord As Word.Application
Dim AppExcel As Excel.Application

Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim tmpText As String
Dim Msg As String, thisMonth As String, thisMonthYr As String
Dim s As Integer, i As Integer, j As Integer

'Process into Arrays

Dim file As file
Dim fld As Folder
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim SummarySize As Integer, DetailSize As Integer
Dim inputFiles_s() As String, inputFiles_d() As String
Dim outputFiles_s() As String, outputFiles_d() As String
Const DEFAULT_FILE_PATH As String = "C:\Sin\MMMYYYY\Source"

SummarySize = 0
DetailSize = 0
thisMonth = "_" & Format(DateAdd("m", -1, Date), "mmm") & "_"

If fso.FolderExists(DEFAULT_FILE_PATH) Then
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(DEFAULT_FILE_PATH)
For Each file In fld.Files

If InStr(UCase(file.Name), "MMM") > 0 Then

If InStr(UCase(file.Name), "SUMMARY") > 0 Then
If InStr(file, "MMM") > 0 And InStr(file, ".txt") > 0 Then

SummarySize = SummarySize + 1
ReDim Preserve inputFiles_s(SummarySize)
ReDim Preserve outputFiles_s(SummarySize)
inputFiles_s(SummarySize) = file
'MsgBox (file.Name)

outputFiles_s(SummarySize) = Replace(outputFiles_s(SummarySize), ".txt", ".doc")
outputFiles_s(SummarySize) = Replace(outputFiles_s(SummarySize), "_MMM_", thisMonth)
'MsgBox (outputFiles_s(SummarySize))

End If
End If

If InStr(UCase(file.Name), "DETAIL") > 0 Then
If InStr(file, "_MMM_") > 0 And InStr(file, ".txt") > 0 Then

DetailSize = DetailSize + 1
ReDim Preserve inputFiles_d(DetailSize)
ReDim Preserve outputFiles_d(DetailSize)
inputFiles_d(DetailSize) = file
'MsgBox (file.Name)

outputFiles_d(DetailSize) = Replace(inputFiles_d(DetailSize), "_MMM_", thisMonth)
outputFiles_d(DetailSize) = Replace(outputFiles_d(DetailSize), ".txt", ".doc")

whats this ???

code:

Dim file As file
Dim fld As Folder
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject

im using word 2003 and it says that since u named it, its not defined anywhere. Could thsi be problem?

Im guessing u are using vba code in Word 2003
These are the error definitions and why it happens it may apply to you
(4605 and 5941)

http://support.micro...kb;en-us;813983

one of the symptoms is ...

This problem may occur if you do not have a document open, or if the document that you are referencing is not open. Word can only change the properties of an open (or visible) document.


and this may be happening bc of this ...

Dim file As file
Dim fld As Folder
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject


Hope this helps... ;) :) ;) :tazz:

Hi, ;)

The FileSystemObject, or FSO, is an often used component to access the web server's file system. For example, you can create files, read the contents of files, determine whether or not a folder or file exists, iterate through the contents of a folder or directory. It can be use for any other number of file system-related tasks. You have to go to reference and check the Microsoft Runtime scripting.

If fso.FolderExists(DEFAULT_FILE_PATH) Then
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(DEFAULT_FILE_PATH)
For Each file In fld.Files


Im using this to check if the folder exists and if it exists, the file in the folder will be process into the arrays.

Anyway i remove remove all lines that causes me to have runtime error and strangely it works ! Im not sure why this worked but it just did.. ;) Thanks for your help i appreciate alot !! :tazz:
