Ok, so if the code works good up until that point, you need to very careful examine everything that happens after.

 

In this case:

 

	If MatchFound = True Then
		oAsset = oAssyDoc.Assets.Item("Smooth - Red")
	End If
	oOcc.Appearance = oAsset
Next 

What we set is that oASSET is assigned a value inside an if loop. If TRUE, the oASSET value gets assigned, if FALSE, the oAsset value isn't assigned. Look back through all of the code before this, and we see there is no default value assigned to the oASSET OBJECT.

 

If we look past the IF Statement, we see that the program is trying to assign the oASSET to an object, so of course it will fail.

 

There's really only 2 ways to fix it: ensure the oAsset variable DOES have a value when we try to assign it, or don't assign it.

 

We could add an if statement before the 

 

oOcc.Appearance = oAsset 

line to ensure that the line is only run if  NOT (oAsset is Nothing)... but that would be redundant, since we can just move the line inside of the if loop that assigns the oAsset value.
