Hi, Jonathan.
If you specify an empty string as the first parameter of GetObject, you'll
create a new instance of the object (it's essentially the same as calling
CreateObject). So, doing this:
Set w = GetObject("", "Word.Application")
Would create a new Word.Application object.
If you want to get an object from a running instance, omit the first parameter
completely. For example, to get the current Word Application object, start
Word, then do:
Set w = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Thanks,
Aaron

Subject: GetObject syntax / function
I am having issues reproducing a GetObject() command I am using in a JAWS
script to work in WindowEyes. In JAWS GetObject(R"eflection.Session"). Note
that in JAWS this takes just one argument. After invoking this command I can
act directly with the scriptable objects of the current session. In VBS with
WindowEyes the GetObject requires two parameters, where the second parameter
appears to be equivalent to the parameter that JAWS uses.
If I use a null string for the first parameter then Reflection creates a new
hidden window. If I use the path of the Reflections settings file then I get a
new session to the host. If I leave the first parameter completely blank, I get
back an ActiveX error. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for any hints.Best wishes,
Jonathan
