See more:

while saving OLEObject from the SQL DB to a physical file(.doc) it opens the MS Word and displays the error
“word could not merge the main document with the data source because the data records were empty”

Used the following code:
OLE1.object.SaveAs strDir & "\" & strFileName & ".doc"

Need to save it silently without opening anything

Please Help

Sounds like it's a mailmerge document? Is there a database hooked up to the Word-document?

As it stands, it looks like the Word-file is saved correctly, and that the MailMerge function starts acting up when you open the document. Does it work correctly if you save an "empty" Word-document?

Solution 2

When opening the Word document itself it throws that error.i think its looking for the datasource and querying what the client is having already.

So when assing that in to ole itself,throws the error.

Need save it in to physical file without popping up the error.

You could put your SaveAs statement in a Try Catch block, then just don't do anything if an error is caught. The only down side is that if ANY error prevents the file from saving it will be skipped as well, so you may want to add something to keep track of the error. Wait...you're using VB6...I'm not sure it's a Try Catch block then...it might be something like On Error GoTO...you'll have to google[^].
