Problem in insering header picture in word through excel

Hi friends,

I am Prem, new to this VBA world. I was writing a program to generate the excel contents to word. it worked fine for me. now i tried to insert a header (a picture) in the word. i am getting a run time error "5941" ,"The requested member of the collection does not exit". When i checked the help option, the message was "Cannot open the file mk:@MSIT store c:\program file\Microsoft office\office 12\1033\WDMAIN11.CHM". But if i don't include that line for the header, it is working good.

doc.sections(1).headers(wdheaderfooterprimary).range.inlineshape.addpicture "c:\documents and setting\pic.bmp". Request you to help to find the solution.

Thank you

Prem

Why don't you just have the picture already in the header of the word template?

hi

Thanks for the reply,

But each time i am opening a new doc, so having header before in the template will not work in this case.

Why not?
If you set a template document and use.

Dim AppWord As Word.Application
Dim WordDoc As Word.Document

    Set AppWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    AppWord.Visible = True
    Set WordDoc = AppWord.Documents.Add("C:\Some\File\Path\FileName.dotx")

If you use .Add you open a new document with the header and document looking as you wish.
If you use .Open then you open the new document file but if its a template you will be asked where to have it saved and so on. If its a document docx then you'll over write the document when you save it.

hi...

Thank you v much for the help.. i did as you said, it is working fine now.. Thanks a lot...
