I got it to work (with the help of an in-house guru). Here's the code...

*** BEGIN CODE

oWord = GETOBJECT('','Word.Basic')

ADIR(aFileList,"*.doc")
FOR i = 1 TO ALEN( aFileList , 1 )

    cFileName = aFileList[ i, 1 ]
    cDocName = UPPER( "c:\temp\sslist\" + cFileName)
    cTxtName  = 'c:\temp\' + STRTRAN( cFileName, '.DOC', '.TXT' )

    WAIT WINDOW 'Opening ' + cFileName NOWAIT NOCLEAR
    oWord.FileOpen(cDocName)

    WAIT WINDOW 'Saving ' + cTxtName NOWAIT NOCLEAR
    oWord.FileSaveAs(cTxtName, 3)

    WAIT CLEAR
    oWord.FileClose()

NEXT
oWord.FileExit()

*** END CODE

Thanks for your input...

Larry
