Hi All,

I am getting a type mismatch error on this line:

Set doc = wdApp.Documents.Open(fDialog)

what might be the reason? Here is the whole code:

Dim wdApp As Object
Dim doc As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set wdApp = GetObject("C:\My Documents\Address.dotx", "Word.Application")

If Err.Number < 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0

Dim FName As String

fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker).Sh ow

On Error Resume Next
Set doc = wdApp.Documents.Open(fDialog)

wdApp.ActiveDocument.Variables("Address").Value = Me.Address.Value
wdApp.ActiveDocument.Variables("City").Value = Me.City.Value

wdApp.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

FName = "C:\My Documents\" & "Address" & ".doc"

wdApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=FName

wdApp.Visible = True

Set doc = Nothing
Set wdApp = Nothing
wApp.Quit

End Sub

Please help!

Thanks in advance

The problem is that

fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker).Sh ow

does not return a file name, so you cannot use the fDialog result in
the Open method, which expects a String file name.

See my reply to your other post on this topic today, 4-Sept.
