Is "Runtime error 5692" documented anywhere?

Question

The error "Runtime error 5692" gets thrown by range.Find.Execute under some circumstances, including sometimes when the range is empty, and sometimes when a regex search is done with a malformed regex.

Is the error documented anywhere? From my position of ignorance, it is unpredictable.

Answer 1

I did some research, but—like you—I found no documentation.
It appears that this error can sometimes be caused by not clearing find/replace text.

I have tested the code below with several different inputs, and it is running without errors. Note: code requires checking Tools -> References -> Microsoft Word xx.0 Object Library.

Sub TextReplace()

    Dim oWord As Word.Application
    Dim oDoc As Word.Document
    Dim oFind As Find

    Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    oWord.Visible = True
    Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add("C:\in.doc")
    Set oFind = oDoc.Range.Find

    oFind.Execute "foo", , , , , , , , , "bar", wdReplaceAll

    oDoc.SaveAs ("C:\out.doc")
    oDoc.Close
    oWord.Visible = False

End Sub
