Re: Word Addin How can I select the using file? "Perry" <drumper[ at ]gmail.com> 4/17/2007 8:53:17 PM One way: Store the filename in a textfile. You can retrieve the filename by reading this textfile in the other app. -- Krgrds, Perry System: Vista/Office Ultimate VS2005/VSTO2005 SE "dev" <dev[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> schreef in bericht news:5B812791-D4BA-40ED-9371-4AE281BD9309[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Word Addin How can I select the using file? dev 4/17/2007 9:20:04 PM My problem is that I don't know how to get the name of the document opened. How can I get the file name of the opened document? For example The user opened the file named "myTest.doc" and, clicking on a Custom button of the Add-in, the Add-in have to put the string "myTest.doc" in some place. How can I get that string in vb? thank you very much.

"Perry" <drumper[ at ]gmail.com> 4/17/2007 9:35:18 PM If "myTest.doc" is the active document in the active Word session you could go: Dim sFullFileName As string sFullFileName = ActiveDocument.FullName or if you have an object variable [MyDoc] pointing to document "myTest.doc" Dim sFullFileName As string sFullFileName = MyDoc.FullName Write sFullFileName to a textfile and you can read it in the other app. -- Krgrds, Perry System: Vista/Office Ultimate VS2005/VSTO2005 SE "dev" <dev[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> schreef in bericht news:E946E34C-82F6-4059-BF28-75E7E6F02982[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Word Addin How can I select the using file? dev 4/18/2007 8:38:01 AM At first, I wanna thank you for your support. So, I if put that code in che onConnection method, I have one error becouse VS don't know "ActiveDocument", "ActiveDocument don't declared" and I can't build the project. I used this code becouse unfortunally I have not [MyDoc] object. [Quoted Text] > Dim sFullFileName As string > sFullFileName = ActiveDocument.FullName thank u again.

You have to start have a variable assigned to the Word.Application, for example wdApp: wdApp.ActiveDocument.FullName Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)
