word selection.find error

[Rowse]

I'm using this code:

With oWordApp.Selection.Find
.Text = "<CurrentDate>"
With .Replacement
.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
End With
.Execute(Replace:=Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll)
End With

but get an error message of:

System.NullReferenceException: Object variable or With block variable not set.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Symbols.Container..ctor(Object Instance)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateGet(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack)
at B3WebService.Service1.B3DocumentSvc1(String DocumentName, WS_Quote Quote, WS_RentalStream PaymentHeader, WS_RentalStreamRecord[] Payments, Entity Customer) in D:\Code\WebService\Dev\App_Code\Service1.asmx.vb:line 248


any ideas why? the error line is the execute.

I imagine that "oWordApp.Selection" isn't returning anything and therefore the Find class can't execute it's Execute method. Try checking to see if it isn't equal to Nothing before proceeding.
