If you instanciate word with CREATEOBJECT('Word.Basic') then you are committing yourself to the wordbasic language. Office97 and later are capable of using WordBasic, but are designed to take advantage of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The Run() method that I suggested to you is a VBA method, not a WordBasic method.

To use it, you need to instanciate word with CREATEOBJECT('Word.Application').

oWord = CREATEOBJECT('Word.Application')
oWord.Run('MyMacro')
