RE: Is there a way to access vba macros in infopath like in word?

[Alexandre]

If there isn't, how can I automate infopath from word?

For excel to word I would do this;
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = False
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(Filepath)

but createobject doesnt seem to work with infopath. How can I do the same
thing for infopath as the above?

Alexandre,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odc_ip2003_tr/html/odc_INF_Lab_16.asp

This should get you started.

This:
Dim o
Set o = Createobject("Infopath.Application")
Msgbox o.version,,"done"

works for me...

HTH,

I wrote the same thing you did but it returns,

Error 429: ActiveX component cannot create object.

I have office 2k3 installed (and infopath) and I reference infopath1.0
object type to my project. It works for word, excel and powerpoint, but not
for infopath. Any idea what could be wrong?

You'll need to be running Service Pack 1 to get external automation to work.
