Open OLE Word hidden for VBA edit (1 Viewer)

[Kronix]

When I use this code to open an OLE embedded Word document

Me![Doc].Verb = acOLEVerbShow
Me![Doc].Action = acOLEActivate

the MS Word program pops up with the document, but I want it to be hidden because I only want to modify its contents with VBA using Me![Doc].Application.ActiveDocument after it's opened. I tried changing acOLEVerbShow to acOLEVerbHide but it gave me a runtime error 13146.

This post seems to have been overlooked
I've never used code like this to open Word and you may be able to do this in other ways

However, are you sure its Access error 13146?
I have what I believe is a full list of Access error codes from MS & that isn't on the list.
Perhaps its a Word VBA error?

What is the error description associated with the error?
Also have you tried using error trapping to bypass the error to determine whether it will then complete as you want it to do.

EDIT:
For a complete list of error codes, see either of these:

I received error 13146 (see other thread) consistently. The message is: Sorry, an unexpected error occurred Please exit and restart <database title>.

In my case, it was from trying to embed a non-embeddable type. I'm guessing 13146 is a general OLE error.
