It worked! Thanks.

NOW:

1. How do I disable the user from X'ing out of the main Word window? She can X out of the document, but not Word.

2. When trying to automate Excel I get the dreaded 'Microsoft VFP has stopped working' message:

	loExcel = createobject("Excel.application")
	loDoc = loExcel.Workbooks.add()  &&<-- Here's where I get the message
	loExcel.ActiveWorkbook.saveas(MyFile)
	loExcel.ActiveWorkbook.close()
