SUMMARY
=======
When you use a Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 application, you cannot call a Visual
Basic for Applications or WordBasic instruction using named arguments. Instead,
you must identify these arguments by position using commas as placeholders.
NOTE: Visual Basic 4.0 supports named arguments.
Word 97 Visual Basic for Applications
-------------------------------------
The following example shows the Visual Basic for Applications syntax as it might
appear in a Visual Basic for Applications macro in Word:
Documents.Open FileName:="""table calculation.doc""", _
ConfirmConversions:= False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", _
Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto
Syntax:
expression.Open(FileName, ConfirmConversions, ReadOnly,
AddToRecentFiles, PasswordDocument, PasswordTemplate, Revert,
WritePasswordDocument, WritePasswordTemplate, Format)
To use this instruction in a Visual Basic 3.0 procedure, you would write:
WordObj.Documents.Open "C:\Test.doc", False, False, False,,, False,,, 0
The following Visual Basic procedure opens a Word Document as read-only with the
file name appearing on the MRU (Most Recently Used) list on the File menu.
Sub Command1_Click ()
Dim WordObj As Object
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
WordObj.FileOpen "D:\WINWORD\MYDOC.DOC", , 1, 1
End Sub
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you want to leave out an argument, you must indicate the missing argument
with a comma. Trailing commas at the end of an instruction can be omitted. In
the example above, it is not necessary to add additional commas after the final
argument.
