Exception when closing Word document

Hi

I'm trying to print a Word document from my VB 2005 app, but I'm having
trouble.

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Private oWord As Word.Application
Private WordTemplate As Object = "N:\Checklist.dot"

Public Sub PrintDocument()
    Dim oDoc As Word.Document
    oWord = New Word.Application
    oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(WordTemplate)
    oDoc.PrintOut()
    oDoc.Close(Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges)
    oWord.Quit()
End Sub

When I run the code, the document gets printed, but then I get an error
on the .Close line:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A14EC
   at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass.Close(Object&
SaveChanges, Object& OriginalFormat, Object& RouteDocument)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Chris

Clearly, the Close method required 3 arguments and you have only supplied
one.

That worked, and I've possibly found a bug in VB - the tooltip lists
all three arguments as optional.
