The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q167381 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Visual Basic for Applications GetAddress Method and
omit the optional Name argument, you receive the following error
message:
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shutdown.
If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
When you click Details, the following message appears:
WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in module WINWORD.EXE at
0137:30144b96.
For example, the following command line will cause this problem:
x = Application.GetAddress(CheckNamesDialog:=True)
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, include the Name argument when you use
the GetAddress method. The Name argument can be a null value, like
this:
x = Application.GetAddress(Name:="", CheckNamesDialog:=True)
