Hello, I need to open several windows of MS WORD but I can only do it once . here is the code to open Word:

C#

Process proc = new Process();
           try
           {

               wdwIntPtr = FindWindow(null, processName);
               proc.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
               proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

               proc.StartInfo.FileName = processName;
               proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

               proc.Start();
}

When I call it I put to processName @"\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\WINWORD.EXE"
The error that I got is : "the requested information are not available because the process is not executed"

What I have tried:

And is your question "Can people on the internet guess what errors you see on your screen from half a world away?"?

Ummm, Word is a single instance application. You can't launch multiple copies of it. If you try, you get the original instance of the app with a new document window.

yes that's right , so there is not a solution ?

Well you *could* ask Microsoft to re-write Word to suit you but there isn't much chance of that happening.

Very funny :)

Well since you don't have an actual problem, I don't see what sort of a solution you can hope to find.

It can happen, but may be expensive :)

No, there is no solution. You simply can't open more than one instance of Word, or any of the Office apps for that matter.

Why do you want to?

Open MS Word, but I can only open once , when I want to open again Word the error appears

ZurdoDev 8-Sep-16 14:02pm

Why do you want to open it more than once.

You can't open WinWord several time. Get the instance of MS Word and use open that instance to document in it.

Here is an idea: How to use Visual C# to automate a running instance of an Office program[^]
