Hi Neil,
I wasn't be able to connect for days.

I check registry to see if class is registered or not :

*function _IsClassRegistered
Lparameters tcClass
#Define HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT    -2147483648
#Define ERROR_SUCCESS		0	&& OK

Declare Integer RegOpenKey IN Win32API ;
    Integer nHKey, String @cSubKey, Integer @nResult

Declare Integer RegCloseKey IN Win32API ;
    Integer nHKey

Local lnKey
lnKey = 0
llRetVal = ( RegOpenKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, tcClass, @lnKey) = ERROR_SUCCESS )
If llRetVal
    RegCloseKey(lnKey)
Endif
Return llRetVal

? _IsClassRegistered("word.application")
