Hi Sylvia,
I have already installed Service Pack 3, so I guess the answer is no it didn't cure my problem, but it was a good idea from Rick nevertheless.
The reason we went down this route was because it all works great when you're talking to Word so the code has been written to allow the wordprocesor calls to be plugged in. It should all work fine (it does in Word, or by using Visual Basic) so why doesn't it with VFP? Sometimes when it crashes it comes up with a VFP error so it definitely seems to be falling over because of VFP _not_ WordPerfect. D'you think this may be deliberate? :-)
