We get a basic "command failed" error. Finally tracked down the problem (somewhat). It happens on PC's that also have a Lotus Notes product installed on them as well (a product called "Desktop Enabler"). Once this is installed, the macro line that closes the document bombs - the document is closed though, it it just that the macro fails to run after this point. I suspect that this "Desktop Enabler" is firing some other code that is failing - it is hooked into Word through an Add-in template.

I think I am just going to have to rewrite the macro to not use a temp document (if I can). I don't have the tools to know what else is firing and where the code is to track this down further. I think that this "add-in" somehow inserts code into Word events that then call some custom dll's that are part of the Enabler's product.

Thanks for the help anyhow.

>>Customer is switching to Word XP (Word 2002) and a macro of theirs is failing. This worked under Word 97 but somehow the syntax is not right. I have dug and dug around the help files for Word 97/Word 2002 but they are not at all helpful ie. their example bombs. I have also dug around on the MSFT site until I was fed up as could not even get a match back to a more updated example. Here is the code in short:
>>
>>' add a new document and grab its name to use as a handle; this new doc is just a temp doc to paste stuff into which will later be dumped
>>
>>Documents.Add
>>lcTempDoc = ActiveDocument.Name
>>
>>' do a bunch of cutting and pasting etc and then dump the temp doc
>>
>>Documents.Item(lcTempDoc).Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
