[AccessD] Exporting table to a word doc

[Rocky Smolin]

OK - I switched to VBA code - late binding. Got the word doc created and
added the text.  Just need the syntax to save it.

    Dim wordApp As Object
    Dim myDoc As Object
    Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set myDoc = wordApp.Documents.Add()

*** Create the text in the doc and then...

   wordApp.SaveAs fileName:="C:\Clients\AGR\Temp\Lease.docx"

throws the error: object doesn't support this property or method.

Does anyone know the correct syntax to save this doc?
