My bad. it should be word.application or word.application.12. I just tested it and it works either way.

>John, are you using the code from the Office automation book?. I am using oWord=createobject("word.application",9). Should I be using winWord.application? I get an error "class definition not found" when used.

>>>Is anyone having trouble with Word 2007 automation? I am using code from "Microsoft Office Automation with Visual Foxpro. I had no problems with Word2000 or Word2003. I print 2 memo's, one is a cover letter with addressee data inserted. The other inserts the same addressee data and inserts data about a data embedded query using another data source. As I said, this was working great until we upgraded to Office 2007.

>>>Now I am getting "Word cannot open document as a data or header source because it contains no data." after I have cleared old data. The next process, before the mailmerge execute, I open the headersource (works fine), then I open the datasource and get "File in Use, document is locked".
>>>
>>>No, no one else has the doc open, I checked WinExpl to find the doc closed but a reference to it with the "~" (weird). I have tried different Word objects using parameter 9 and 10, but no difference. Any ideas?

>>Is this the same on any machine? You might try looking in the registry at the application section for Winword. I think if you do a oword=createobject('winword.application') it is supposed to get the lastest install, but you can also get to different versions by adding a number like winword.application.1 . I've heard others say they just reinstalled Office and it worked. I'm using 2007 with no problems in XP and Vista Ultimate.
