BUG: WDCONST.BAS File Described in ODK Docs Doesn't Exist

 Last reviewed: June 21, 1995
Article ID: Q118820
The information in this article applies to:
  • Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, version 3.0
  • Microsoft Office Developer's Kit, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The book "Programming Integrated Solutions" that comes with the Office Developer's Kit has a description of the file WDCONST.BAS in chapter 6, "Microsoft Word Object," in the "Constants" section, pages 173 and 174. It says that WDCONST.BAS includes definitions of constants that you can use in Visual Basic version 3.0 when calling Word for Windows version 6.0 OLE automation methods. However, when you look for this file on the compact disc, it is not there.

CAUSE

The WDCONST.BAS file was never created and the documentation was not changed to reflect this.

WORKAROUND

You can define your own constants as documented in the example code in the section of "Programming Integrated Solutions" mentioned above.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Office Developer's Kit version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
