    My bad... I see you already tried that.

     

    I'll confess, I'm unfamiliar with the syntax that you're using.  However, what it looks like is you're trying to determine whether or not the wText property is available on the object.  Have you considered using aqObject.IsSupported?  You could then put logic in to do something like

     

    if aqObject.IsSupported(obj, "wText") then
{
    obj.getText().OleValue
}

    Or something like that... The idea is that you're trying to figure out which property to use for getting the text. So, use a method available to determine if the property is supported and work with that.

Wrap your call to use the object with a try/catch.  That way you'll handle the error if it happens and you can opt to not log anything in the "catch" block.

I can't use try cath, because "unable to find object" actially is not an error.
