I've written a VB app that creates a Word report. The basic format of the
report is
<Page header>

<table header>
<table data>

<next table header>
<next table data>
etc.

Everything works fine until I try to create the second table. The insertion
point is still in the first cell of the first table, and I get a run-time
error 5962 "there is already a table at this position." I think the problem
is with the value in the Range object, but I can't seem to change it. Any
suggestions?

Thanks
Brian

Before creating the second table you should try to send a « nextcell »
or « linedown » command to word to go out of the first table.

OK, I'll give that a try.
