If it's Word 2007, check Trust access to the VBA project object model under Word Options, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings, Macro Settings

>I had a support call today for a VFP application that was written by someone else. I have not had the opportunity to review the source code on this. I believe the application is written in VFP8. The behavior was demonstrated to me when running under Windows Server 2008 but it also happens on Vista.
>
>The application has a Word mail merge feature that appears to be started via automation. The application works as expected when the administrator runs the application. When a user other than administrator runs the application an error occurs. The error is "OLE cannot find object" (sorry I forgot to get the exact error message). If the application is run 'as administrator' it works but the user is forced to enter the admin credentials.

>I'm guessing that this has something to do with the UAC.

>Is there something short of 'run as admin' that will allow VFP to start Word?
