Using OLE commands from VFP to "control" Word is no problem. I have an application that uses documents stored in a general field of a VFP table. I have no problem initiating an edi session with Word for the document, but at times, I would like to reference the Word application object.

Is there any way to take the document stored in a general field and be able to control Word as though full OLE automation was being used? If this is not possible, is there a way to take the document stored in the general field and move it to a temporary ".DOC" file?
