OpenDoc call fails!

OpenDoc call fails!

OpenDoc call fails!

(OP)
I am trying to write a macro that will go through all of my drawing files and extract the BOM information. When I execute the OpenDoc method the drawing opens, but I get the following error at the end of the method line execution: Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set and the call fails. I hope that someone can point out what I am doing wrong. Here is my code:
....
    Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application")
    swModel = swApp.OpenDoc6(infile, swDocDRAWING, 0, "", swError, swWarn)
....
  Where infile is the complete path and file name of the drawing file that I want to open.

Thanks!
Janet

RE: OpenDoc call fails!

simple VB omission.  You need the "Set" keyword to set an object.

Set swModel = swApp.OpenDoc6(infile, swDocDRAWING, 0, "", swError, swWarn)

On justice and on friendship, there is no price, but there are established credit limits.

Thank you so much. That did the trick!
