SYMPTOMS
When you use the Visual Basics for Applications Range.Delete command with a document object that you set using the Visual Basics for Applications GetObject function, the following error message may appear when there are no documents open in Word:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

When you click Details, the following message is displayed:

WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in WINWORD.EXE at 015f:30139205.

NOTE: The actual memory address may vary.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, you can make sure that at least one document is open in Word. The following sample Visual Basic for Applications procedure demonstrates this workaround: Sub RangeDelete Dim getDoc As Document Dim emptyDoc As Document If Douments.Count = 0 Then             ' If no documents are open, Set EmptyDoc = Documents.Add        ' Create a blank document. End If  Set getDoc = GetObject("C:\MyDoc.doc") With getDoc .Range.Delete .Save .Close End With emptyDoc.Close Set getDoc = Nothing Set emptyDoc = Nothing End Sub



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
