On a computer with Office 97 on it, oWord = CreateObject("word.application") starts an instance of Word and returns an object reference to it. On a new computer with Office 2000, the same code starts an instance of Word but returns OLE error 0x8001010a: "The message filter indicated that the application is busy." After clearing the error message, oWord = GetObject(, "word.application") successfully creates a VFP object reference to the running instance. Is there some difference in how a Word 2000 automation server should be started from VFP, vs. Word 97?
