Tried that last night. Unfortunately, that's not the answer. I should maybe also have mentioned that if I run word, and then issue GetObject("Word.Application") while it's running, I get this message:

"Moniker cannot open file"

I'm sure the two issues are related, but this was not a problem before. I'm not sure why the it works with Excel, but I was thinking that maybe it's one of those things where Word needs to be installed after SP1 for some oddball reason.
