Why VBA command documents.open doesn't works on first run?-CodePudding

I am trying to open a word .docm via a string with Documents.Open. It works after the second run of the script. In the first run the document simply doesn't open up, and the script doesn't load the doc file. Any thoughts or tips?

Sub gerarproposta()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Dim objWord As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document
    
    'banco de dados
    Dim xl As New Excel.Application
    Dim xlw As Excel.Workbook
    
    'Variável texto
    Dim Tex As String
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set basedados = Sheets("Base de Dados")
    Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    objWord.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
    objWord.Visible = True
    
    'xl.Visible = True
    
    
    'Word - proposta modelo
    Tex = """" & basedados.Range("B30") & "\" & basedados.Range("B31") & """"
    'Abre o arquivo do Word
    Set wdDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(Tex)
    .
    .
    .

End Sub

Already tried to change the TEX variable to a String manually
Every run after the first one works normally

The commentary of @Shrotter solved my problem. I changed the code:

Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

To:

    On Error Resume Next
    Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    If objWord Is Nothing Then
        Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    End If

I tried to get the object from a non-existent Word session.

CodePudding user response：

The following statement for retrieving the Word Application instance can be used if Word is already launched:

Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

Instead, you could an early binding like you did in case of Excel:

Set objWord = New Word.Application
