Unfortunately, I won't be able to get that drink from you since I won't be heading to DevCon.
As for your problem, the only thing I can think of is that when you instantiate Word, FoxPro is losing its reference at some point during the process and you're experiencing some type of memory leak. I'll ask around and see if anyone in my office has more experience with this.



>>it's actually very simple to export your VFP table to a delimited text file. you'll have to create this text file ahead of time and attach it to the word document as the document's merge source. when you have everything set up and you're ready to call up word in your program, just recreate the text file
