What is HRESULT: 0x800A03EC

[miztaken]

Hi,

I am doing Office Automation.
When i opened an excel file inside DOC or PPT and tried to save it
i.e. Document.SaveAs()
then i get this error.
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC

To my surprise this error is not consistent...it is totally
unpredictable and i dont know what is causing it?

Please shade some of your views and remedies about this error?


Thank You

I'm don't know what that error code means either but if you're automating
Excel inside another application you have to use the Excel object model, not
the host's. So the object in this case has to be a workbook, for example:

xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "abc.xls"

or

xlWB.SaveAs "abc.xls"

where xlWB has been set to a workbook already.

If you want to save a workbook with its current name, something like:

xlWB.Save

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the reply.
Actually i was trying to save excel file inside DOC file.
I am doing like this:-

//get shape from word file
MsWord.OLEFormat format = shape.OLEFormat;
format.Activate();
MsExcel.Workbook innerbook = shape.OLEFormat.Object;
innerbook.SaveAs(SavePath, nullobj, nullobj, nullobj, nullobj,
nullobj, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange, nullobj, nullobj, nullobj,
nullobj, nullobj);

I hope i am doing this correctly.
Now the problem is:
When i run the standalone application dealing with Office Files only
then it runs well.
But when i do other Outlook operations as well then i get this error.

I think there must be some connection of that Error with Outlook
processing.

Please let me know your views on this

Thank You

I wish I could help but I don't know C# or .Net. My answer assumed you were
using VB.
