I am trying to process the list of word files in a user specified directory. For this I iterate through the list of documents and open each using the Word.Application & Word.Document objects.

Now sometimes the word file may be corrupted or might have macros. In this case when executing the

`Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Document.Open(...)`

statement, the Microsoft Word application generates an error, and the VB program CANNOT proceed until the user responds to the (error related) message box the word app displays. However i want to ignore these errors, skip these files and continue processing the rest of the documents. The key requirement is that no user intervention should be necessary.

Please help.

Offhand the only idea that comes to mind is to have a program that sends mouseclicks if the document fails to close properly.

How about:
On Error Resume Next
