Multiple Open Documents

[JBNewsGroup]

Hi,

I have an open document that contains a table. In the userform I open a
"master" document and use the info from that to update the table.
Somewhere, either in a NG, FAQ or link, I saw a response or article on how
to handle working with multiple documents in VBA. Can anyone point me to
the document or response. I cannot seem to find it as I forgot to bookmark
the item.

Thanks in advance for a response.

Hi Jezebel,

Thanks.

I wasn't sure about accessing each document. I assume I can use the pDoc for
each target (pDocMaster, pDocTable) without worrying about the document
indexes changing.

When I access a document this way do I have to make the document I am
working with Active? In other words to access the master
pDocMaster.Activate and to update the table pDocTable.Activate. Or do I just
use pDocMaster.oParagraph and pDocTable.oTable without Activating?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks a lot. That clarified things for me and actually makes the
code easier.

And do not forget not to use the Selection object, or you will have
surprises!

Hi Jean-Guy,

Can you elaborate a little bit. I was planning on using Range objects.

Perfect!

The selection objects always refer to the currently Selected range, which
might not be the one you want when you have many documents opened. It is
sometimes difficult to control.
As you are planning to use the Range object, then everything is fine... I
just thought I would mention it in case...
