Hi

I want to use the CentimetersToPoints-Method of the WordApplication-Object: 
CREATE(wdApp);
wdApp.Visible := TRUE;
theWidth := wdApp.CentimetersToPoints(7.5);

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The following error is thrown:
Could not invoike the mbmber CentimetersToPoints. The ole control or automation server returned an unknown error.

Navision 3.7, WordLibrary 9.0

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Thomas

    Did you try to use it in a macro/vba application? If you do that, you can see the code you should be writing.

    But I wouldn't know what I would have to do to get this in VBA :-k .

    Hi Waldo
    In VB, it works the expected way, in Navision it doesn't.
    Anyway, I have found a workaround (manual compute the points).

    Thanks

    Do you mind to share the code and put [Solved] in the topic?

    Btw:
    The approx formula is as fw:

    theWidth := centimeters * 28.35
