>This is becoming an obsession: Assume that the code below is in a method of a Word automation class that has NO UI. An instance of Word is open and referenced by the Public variable oWord. The document to be edited is open and ready for editing. How do I ‘shell out’ to a process that would allow the user to edit the document using Word, and upon selection of Save, Print or Close, terminate the interactive use of Word, unbind the eventhandler and continue with the VFP application? What code belongs between IF and ENDIF? Can it be a single prg?

As per the CC, I nowhere said to use a "Public variable oWord", did I? If I did, I regret. Never use a public variable for word.
