Sleeper: Error: Push Excel Named Range Values to Bookmarks in Word
The code that follows is supposed to automatically push data to a Word template document, but I have been unable to get it to work after carefully following all the instructions. I keep getting an 5151 error. What does this mean? Has anyone successfully run this macro?

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub BCMerge()
Dim pappWord As Object
Dim docWord As Object
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlName As Excel.Name
Dim TodayDate As String
Dim Path As String
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
TodayDate = Format(Date, "mmmm d, yyyy")
Path = wb.Path & "\pushmerge.dot"
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
'Create a new Word Session
Set pappWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
'Open document in word
Set docWord = pappWord.Documents.Add(Path)
'Loop through names in the activeworkbook
For Each xlName In wb.Names
'if xlName's name is existing in document then put the value in place of the bookmark
If docWord.Bookmarks.Exists(xlName.Name) Then
docWord.Bookmarks(xlName.Name).Range.Text = Range(xlName.Value)
End If
Next xlName
'Activate word and display document
With pappWord
.Visible = True
.ActiveWindow.WindowState = 0
.Activate
End With
'Release the Word object to save memory and exit macro
ErrorExit:
Set pappWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
'Error Handling routine
ErrorHandler:
If Err Then
MsgBox "Error No: " & Err.Number & "; There is a problem"
If Not pappWord Is Nothing Then
pappWord.Quit False
End If
Resume ErrorExit
End If
End Sub
