The following runs fine, however my Excel file is displaying Run-time error 13: Type mismatch. Not sure what that means. Can someone please tell me how to correct this? Thank you.


Sub OpenWordDoc()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim wordApp As Object
Dim wordDoc As Object
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = True
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.documents.Open("F:\EMERGENCY CONTACT MERGE DOC (6-2013).docm", ReadOnly:=True)

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
cvincent,

You have different strings declaring the object variables compared to when you are setting them!!

Hope that helps.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this. I am not very familiar with object variables, and no on-site support. Thank goodness for Mr. Excel! This will help me correct it.

Did you get it corrected cvincent? He's referring to you having declared the variables as WordApp and WordDoc but set them as wrdApp and wrdDoc.
