I had a 60-day Office Home & Student 2007 installed on my laptop, and I
installed Office Standard 2003. Running 2 versions of Office gave me problems
when I clicked on an Office 2007 program (any file I opened started in 07,
not 03). So I uninstalled the Trial version, and am now running on 03. I have
an application that generates a report in Word, and now it gives me as Type
Mismatch error on the following line:

Set appWD = CreateObject ("Word.Application")

It worked prior to uninstalling Office 2007. I have a reference to the Word
11.0 Object Model, so what's the problem?

How did you declare appWD?

Did you use:
dim appWd as Word.application

or if you unchecked that reference (you may have to modify other portions of
your code):

dim appWD as Object

I ran into very similar issues between Office 2000 and Office 2007. Macros
created in 2007 may not function completely in older versions. I am
starting to write macro for a living. To support most of my clients, I had
to downgrade from office 2007 to office 2000.

It sucks.

I did use what you said. It worked for a year on my home computer. It worked
on my laptop here too. The only unusual thing I did between a couple of days
ago and yesterday was uninstall Office 2007. It still works on the home
computer. Do I have to reinstall Office 2003 to get it to work? My other
reports work, as they are based in Excel.

What did you do?

Did you use the first declaration and have a reference to Word 11?

Or did you use the late binding and discard any reference?

==========
In the first case, I'd try reregistering xl2003.

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

The Dim appWD as Object worked perfectly! You are a lifesaver!!!
