How to close Word document in Open event?

[Anita]

Hi all,

I am using Word object model. I am trying to close the document in
Document_Open event of Word applicationObject. Due to this, Word is crashing.

Is there a way by which, we can verify the document opened
by user and close it there (based on some condition)...?

Any pointers on the same would definately help.

Thanks,
~Anita

Hi Anita,

You want to use an event procedure to perform an action which again triggers
events. I've also tried to do so, but it didn't work, perhaps it can't work:
the first event is still not completely processed, and the application seems
to be not ready there to process Your command.
Your 'close' action must not be in the context of Document_Open. You could
use a timer event and perform it there instead: that should work. Maybe You
want to use the Document_Open to hide the document in the meantime.

Regards,
Manfred
