I am going off of a suggestion to start here to accomplish my task:
http://www.cfcomet.com/Word/index.cfm?ArticleID=54E12395-5696-11D3-B3E8004033E03EF9
I am trying to get a collection of the fields in a word document, then loop through
the collection looking for fields that are of type wdFieldMergeField as specified on
MSDN... basically to test for merge fields in a word document. All I need to know is
if one field type is of wdFieldMergeField type.
Reading through the docs at MSDN I think I know what I need to do, but I can not seem
to create the COM object to get going. The page just hangs when I run this code:
<!--- Create the object --->
<CFTRY>
<!--- If it exists, connect to it --->
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CONNECT"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">
<CFCATCH>
<!--- The object doesn't exist, so create it --->
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CREATE"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>
<CFSCRIPT>
/* Get the document object */
objDoc = objWord.Documents;
/* Open the document with the form fields */
newDoc = objDoc.open("C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\temp1.doc");
/* Get all fields within the document */
docFields = newDoc.Fields;
</CFSCRIPT>
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong? I am on windows xp with CFMX. The word file is
in the correct location and I have MS Word installed.
Thanks,
Michael Tangorre
