Hello,

I am working on a script in Excel 2007, and I keep getting error 462. Here is the entire script:

Sub ControlWord()
' You must pick Microsoft Word 8.0 from Tools>References
' in the VB editor to execute Word commands.
' See VB Help topic "Controlling One Microsoft Office Application from Another"
' for more information.

Dim appWD As Word.Application
' Create a new instance of Word & make it visible
Set appWD = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appWD.Visible = True


'Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Select
'Find the last row with data in the database
'FinalRow = Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Range("A200").End(xlUp).Row
FinalRow = Range("A200").End(xlUp).Row
'Sheets("Template").Range("A6").Value = FinalRow
For i = 2 To FinalRow

'Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Select

Dim LeftHeader As String
LeftHeader = Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Range("C" & i) & "-" & Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Range("D" & i) & "-" & Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Range("E" & i)
'Concatenate three cells into desired left side header
Dim RightHeader As String
RightHeader = "AID: " & Sheets("report-skipped-list-mn").Range("F" & i) & " | " & Date
'Put LeftHeader into A1 cell
Sheets("Template").Select
Sheets("Template").Range("A1").Value = LeftHeader
Sheets("Template").Range("H1").Value = RightHeader
'Range("A1").Paste
' Copy the data for the new document to the clipboard
Range("A1:I1").Copy
' Tell Word to create a new document
appWD.Documents.Add
' Tell Word to paste the contents of the clipboard into the new document
appWD.Selection.Paste
'Add Delimiter



'Set appWD = Nothing
appWD.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=2
appWD.Selection.TypeParagraph
appWD.Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1

With appWD.Selection.Borders(wdBorderBottom)
.LineStyle = Options.DefaultBorderLineStyle
.LineWidth = Options.DefaultBorderLineWidth
.Color = Options.DefaultBorderColor
End With

appWD.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
appWD.Selection.TypeParagraph
' Change drive
'ChDrive "E"
' Change directory
'ChDir "E:\Documents\Chegg"
' Save the new document with a sequential file name
appWD.ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:=LeftHeader
' Close this new word document
appWD.ActiveDocument.Close
Next i
' Close the Word application
appWD.Quit
End Sub


I believe the problem is with the 'With' loop because when I turn those lines of code into comments, the program runs without errors. The problem is that I want the With loop to create a horizontal line across a Word document. I copied the With loop from recording a macro where I create the line by typing "---" and then hitting Enter; my AutoCorrect settings change this to the desired line. So to be clear, my questions are:

1) How can I fix the code to eliminate the error?

or

2) Is there another way I can add the horizontal line?

I would appreciate any help anyone could provide. Sorry if the formatting of the code makes it difficult to follow.

Sincerely,
Mike

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
