>I have a program that converts all .TXT output into .DOC format. If the user has the Word Applicatin left open in his/her desktop (and working on his/her documents while the program is running) how may I have the active documents created by the program while executing invisible? I tried oWord.ActiveDocument.Visible = .F. but I got an error message (0x80020006). I tried oWord.Visible but then it wouldn't let the user continue working on his/her document (nothing to do with the program). I tried CreateObject to open another Word Application but then the program (oWord.Quit) wouldn't properly close it upon completion.

Probably an obvious question, but did you close the doc before issuing the quit?
