This action cannot be completed

[mjlaali]

Hi,
I have created an automation program which opens a word file through MS Word
Object Model and creates a new file using the opened file. When I use it with
large files, it intensively makes calls to Word Object Model Methods and
after doing part of the job a dialog will appear which informs “This action
cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose ‘switch to’ to
activate the busy program and correct the problemâ€. If I click ‘switch to’
button of the dialog, Windows start button will act. If I click ‘retry’
button of the dialog it will appear again and if I click ‘cancel’ button of
the dialog my program will catch a COleException whose error message is “Call
was rejected by calleeâ€. I don’t know why it happens and how I should fix it.
thanks,

You would have to show us the code that you are using.

The code is bigger than what could be included here. It is developed in
multiple classes using MFC. But I summarized it below:

Documents docs = m_wordApplication.GetDocuments();

m_document = docs.Open(COleVariant(filePathCStr), COleVariant((short)FALSE),
COleVariant((short) FALSE), COleVariant((short)FALSE), optionalArgument,
optionalArgument, COleVariant((short) FALSE),optionalArgument,
optionalArgument,
optionalArgument, optionalArgument, COleVariant((short) FALSE),
optionalArgument,
optionalArgument, COleVariant((short) TRUE), optionalArgument);


m_listOfParagraphs = m_document.GetParagraphs();
m_listOfSentences = m_document.GetSentences();

/////////////open output doc
CString toBeOpenedFilePath(m_filePath.c_str());

m_outDocument = docs.Open(COleVariant(toBeOpenedFilePath),
COleVariant((short)FALSE),
COleVariant((short) FALSE), COleVariant((short)FALSE), optionalParam,
optionalParam, COleVariant((short) FALSE),optionalParam, optionalParam,
optionalParam, optionalParam, COleVariant((short) FALSE), optionalParam,
optionalParam, COleVariant((short) TRUE), optionalParam);
Range docRange = m_outDocument.Range(optionalParam, optionalParam);

docRange.SetNoProofing(TRUE);
