I am using a Word Basic object to do some file formatting and am having trouble closing the file being formatted. Syntax is as follows:

oWordDoc = CREATEOBJECT('word.basic')

WITH oWordDoc
.FileOpen(myfile)
.FileSaveAs(txtfile, 2)
.FileQuit
RELEASE oWordDoc
ENDWITH

Myfile is a word document and txtfile is the text file. I strip the .doc extension and add the .txt extension to myfile and save the result in the variable txtfile before doing the word basic code. I am attempting to open and use the file represented by txtfile (with another name and referencing by file handle (FOPEN) ) in another area of code, but I get a "File is in use" error. If I ignore the error, all is well. My thoughts are that .FileQuit is not closing the file. I have tried .FileClose, .FileCloseAll with no luck. Any suggestions? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
