Attempted to read or write protected memory....

[Badis]

Hi,

I'm using automation to produce word documents, and it's working fine in my
machine that have vs.net 2005 and office xp in it. BUT when I move my
application to another machine that have vs.net 2005 express edition with
office 97 I'm getting this error:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication
that other memory is corrupt."

when it comes to the second line of this code :
wrdApp = new Word.Application();
// Add a new document.
wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(ref oName, ref oFalse, ref oMissing, ref
Missing);
Do I have to upgrade the vs.net 2005 express edition to vs.net 2005 and
word97 to xp to make it work or is it some thing else!?

Cheers.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QmFkaXM=?=,

You appear to be using C#. C# is very strict about typing and method
signatures. The Office object models are structured on the old Visual Basic
rules. Among other things, these support optional method parameters. C# can't
work with optional parameters.

If you look at the Documents.Add method for Word 97 and compare it to that of
Word 2002, you'll probably see that Word 97 has a different method signature
(fewer parameters). So, as it stands, the code developed for Word 2002 cannot
run against Word 97.
