Hello NG,

we have a script to create a word-document via COM which, so far, run pretty
stable under php 4.3.7

Since we upgraded to php 5.0.3.3 the same script works only on the first
run!
On the following runs the same script causes a fatal error on the code
below:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source:
Microsoft Word
Description: Wrong Parameter.' in [Scriptname]:65
Stack trace:
#0 [Scriptname](65): variant->GoTo('wdGoToField', 'wdGoToFirst', 1)
#1 [SourceScript] include('[Scriptname]')
#2 {main} thrown in [Scriptname] on line 65

Code :
================================================
$NumberFields = $word->ActiveDocument->MailMerge->fields->Count;
for ($CounterFields = 1; $CounterFields <= $NumberFields; $CounterFields++)
{
$word->Selection->Range->GoTo(wdGoToField, wdGoToFirst, $CounterFields);
<-- Creates Fatal Error
...
}
================================================

When we reset the Apache-Service, the script runs again once! Subsequent
calls create the same fatal error again ... we changed access-rights in
dcomcnfg which didn't show any influence ...

Environment: win 2003 server, Apache 2.0.53

I'm greatful for any hint !
