Hallo Peter,
perhaps u should use early binding with
a reference to Word
Extras - References - Microsoft Word <No. of your Version Object
Library
then use a declaration like

Dim appWord as Word.Application

Set appWord= New Word.Application
instead of
Set appword = CreateObject("word.application")

Hi,

Set appword = CreateObject("word.application")
appword.Visible = True

...open document here

appword.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("date").Select

'after going to the bookmark and inserting the date and
'time, the selection is highlighted.

appword.Selection = mDate & " " & myTIME

'i want to go to the end of the line(unhighlight)
'and go down one row (hit enter key)

appword.Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
Selection.TypeParagraph

'I get the following error at the endkey line
Named argument not found
run time error 448
I believe this used to work. What could I have changed in
either word or excel????
thanks,
peter
