Rocky,
I use CreatObject
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Doug:
I'm still having trouble with a user opening a word doc and the code works
here. So I'm switching to late binding.
Would the correct code for late binding be:
Dim objWord As Object
Set objWord = GetObject("", "Word.Application")
With objWord
'Visible is set True in order to view the operation.
.Visible = True
.Documents.Open (Me.fldFABWorkInstructions) End With
Set objWord = Nothing
Where Me.fldFABWorkInstructions contains the full path and file ame of the
word doc to be opened. BTW this code works on my machine. And we are both
running O2003.
TIA
Rocky

John,
I automate Word from an XP runtime with no problem. I used late binding to
make sure changes in the Version of Word being used didn't crash the system.

I found a 2000 package on ebay but not an XP version.
What happens with automating word and excel?

Hi John,
I believe you need the Office XP Developer package. There are a few listed
on the web, for around $600. There is an update package but I don't know if
it requires a previous developer package or not. Amazon lists it but is
currently out. A full package is currently on EBay. I am of the opinion that
the developer license allows you to distribute as many runtimes as you need
to service projects that you deliver.
HTH
Bill

Can anyone give me "just the facts ma'm" for what I need to buy to do
runtimes for a single site, IOW 40 machines all at the same location. All
machines are Windows 2K or XP. The application uses automation to do mail
merge. Also automation to use Outlook. Outlook uses exchange server if it
matters.
The client currently has a mix of office 2K and XP and it causing headaches
getting one version of the application to work on both versions of office
everywhere, every time.
I need to know the cost, how to get ahold of it etc. The Microsoft site
runs you around and around (trying to avoid the cost issue I assume).
