Hi All,

I'm trying to create a code to compare two word documents if identical. However, I always get the error, "User-defined type not defined"



Sub CompareAllFiles()
Dim strFolderA As String
Dim strFolderB As String
Dim strFolderC As String
Dim strFileSpec As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim objDocA As word.document
Dim objDocB As word.document
Dim objDocC As word.document
strFolderA = InputBox("Enter path to base documents:")
strFolderB = InputBox("Enter path to new documents:")
strFolderC = InputBox("Enter path for document comparisons to be saved:")
strFileSpec = "*.doc"
strFileName = Dir(strFolderA & strFileSpec)
Do While strFileName <> vbNullString
Set objDocA = Documents.Open(strFolderA & strFileName)
Set objDocB = Documents.Open(strFolderB & strFileName)
Application.CompareDocuments _
OriginalDocument:=objDocA, _
RevisedDocument:=objDocB, _
Destination:=wdCompareDestinationNew
objDocA.Close
objDocB.Close
Set objDocC = ActiveDocument
objDocC.SaveAs Filename:=strFolderC & strFileName
objDocC.Close SaveChanges:=False
strFileName = Dir
Loop
Set objDocA = Nothing
Set objDocB = Nothing
End Sub

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
There is a commercial product called File Compare Ultra, I can imagine a world of pain if your two files don't match tested with VBA
