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.

Can we see part of the code? When I open a second instance of word using createobject(), open a file (Documents.Open(), save it (ActiveDocument.SaveAs(), close it (ActiveDocument.Close(0), and then oWord.quit(), everything about my instance is gone. The other instance doesn't know anything has happened.
