Do search-and-replace with a Word-object

[Frank Zdarsky]

I use the following code (VB6.0) in an ActiveX-DLL to open a Word document, replace some text and print the document. Printing works fine, but the text is not being replaced, only selected. If I copy the code for replacing into a Word-macro this works well.

What am I missing?


Thanks,


Frank
