Get File Names for Open Word Documents

Hi

We have a process during which the application being used generates Word letters which we then print and send to our customers.

The application does not always close down the Word documents once they are printed correctly and also has retry functionality for printing the letters.

In order to try to mitigate this we are looking to terminate open Word documents based on their filename.

To do this we need to get a list of the filenames for all open Word documents, so we know which instances to close. Does anyone know a way to do this? The files are opened by the application outside of Blue Prism so we are not attached to the documents, nor do we have the handles for each instance.

Thanks,

Hi, Christopher,

not sure if it is still valid question as it was posted 18 days ago but have you tried Attach Action from Blue Prism MS Word VBO? That could give you all the information you may need even to terminate the MS Word application.
