Word VBA Macro Can only be Used Once

Hello everyone,

I am very new to vba in word. I am writing some code from an excel spreadsheet that exports an AutoCAD Script file from an imported CSV file. The code is designed to take a file and remove any unwanted commas and format spaces where required. I have some simple error handling but its by no means ideal.

I have loaded the word libraries into my excel macro and everything works fine the first time I run it. Every other time an error occurs. I think there must be something running in the background or invisible that i have not closed down but i have no Idea what.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When reporting an error please state what the error is, including the text of the error.

There are some things possibly wrong, but let's start with what exactly is the error you are getting.

Hi sorry,

The error message is that the remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable. (rte 462).
Every other time was a bit vague. What i mean is that the first time it is run it works perfectly. Ever time after that it will come up with this error.

Thanks for your quick reply.
