I'm trying to open a Word document and then goto a specific bookmark. I want to use the Word "goto" function since it positions the bookmark at the top of the page.

Here is the code I am using (borrowed from Bob's). It is just some simple code that counts the number of bookmarks in a document and moves to the last one. It all works except for the GoTo command. If anybody has a suggestion, I would appreciate it.

Subroutine Ole_Word_Example3(null)

equ wdGoToBookmark to -1

oWrd = OleCreateInstance("Word.Application")

OlePutProperty(oWrd,'Visible', 1)

oDocuments = oleGetProperty(oWrd, 'Documents')

oDoc = OleCallMethod(oDocuments, 'OPEN', "O:\Hank\test.doc")

Selection = oleGetProperty(oWrd, "SELECTION")

oMarks = oleGetProperty(oDoc, "Bookmarks")

mcnt = oleGetProperty(oMarks, "Count")

oMark = OleCallMethod(oMarks, "ITEM", mcnt)

bookmarkname = oleGetProperty(oMark, "Name")

x = OleCallMethod(Selection, "GoTo", wdGoToBookmark,,,bookmarkname)

RETURN 1

Hi Hank

I'm not sure GoTo is a method for the selection object.

Instead of

x=OleCallMethod(Selection, "GoTo", wdGoToBookmark,,,bookmarkname)

try

x=OleCallMethod(OWrd, "GoTo", wdGoToBookmark,,,bookmarkname)

if that does not work, try using the macro recorder, see what object it uses for the goto.

This is the macro , selection appears to be correct

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=test"
