5491 application-defined or object-defined error

doug,

thanks for the advice.  i checked the references and they were the same.  both computers are using the same version of office.  i have to admit, as self taught, i am not familiar enough with early/late binding to know which i am using.

here where it gets wierd.  i changed the way it was being called from Access but if failed about half of the time, so i added error handling on the code in word, that was failing.  first adding a msgbox, just to warn that the bullets had not been formatted, but after i did this they always were formatted, so i changed the erorr handling to Resume Next.  it now works everytime, ran through it about 20 times, with no issues.

so here is the final working code:

Sub bulletFormat()
On Error GoTo Bullet_Error
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Dim doc As Word.Document
Set doc = ActiveDocument
Dim LT As List
    For Each LT In doc.Lists
        LT.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplateWithLevel ListTemplate:= _
        ListGalleries(wdBulletGallery).ListTemplates(1), ContinuePreviousList:= _
        False, ApplyTo:=wdListApplyToSelection, DefaultListBehavior:= _
        wdWord10ListBehavior
        Next
Bullet_Error:
Resume Next
End Sub
