>Here's a modified function - normally it creates and returns a suitable vfpWord object but I've trimmed it for more general use. It's not pretty though - also watch out - MS have changed some of the return values (e.g. from English (UK) to English (British) so you'll have to play around a little). I imagine you'll get "Svensk" for Swedish Word.

Hi Robert.

This works fine except for the fact that ProgInfo in the swedish version of
Word 6 is called PrgmInfo. This is not fun since my app is going to be
translated and run in 7 different languages. Is this a fact that in every
version of Word 6 ProgInfo is called something different?
