Macro Fails Because of Component

Macro Fails Because of Component

Macro Fails Because of Component

(OP)
I have the following section of a large Macro that fails when it encounters a Component, instead of a product.

What is the best way to handle components since they do not have a save feature?

Error Message:
Run-Time error -2147467259 (80004005)
The Method ReferenceProduct Failed

It fails at the this line:
If Right(sel.Item(X).LeafProduct.ReferenceProduct.Parent.Name, 7) = "Product" Then

Section of Code

CODE --> VBA

Dim sel As Selection
Set sel = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
sel.Search "CATAsmSearch.Product,all"
For X = 1 To sel.Count

If X = 1 Then
Input1TopProduct = sel.Item(X).LeafProduct.ReferenceProduct.Parent.Product.PartNumber
End If

'Checking To See If Current Item X is a Product
If Right(sel.Item(X).LeafProduct.ReferenceProduct.Parent.Name, 7) = "Product" Then
'    If MsgBox(sel.Item(X).LeafProduct.ReferenceProduct.Parent.Name, vbOKCancel, "Product") = vbCancel Then
'    MsgBox ("Canceled")
'    Exit Sub

Set oDoc1 = sel.Item(X).LeafProduct.ReferenceProduct.Parent
Set oProduct1 = oDoc1.Product

'Get The Current Product Number

'Do Nothing
Else

'Creating The Current Product Number with Suffix
    InputsuffixedProd = oProduct1.PartNumber & InputSuffix1
    
 'Removing Periods From Product Number to Prevent Any Errors in Saving
