Hi all,
In my app I have a set of word doc's for the user to pick from.
The way I handle it is to createObject oTemp and oAll, both are set to WindowState = minimized and Visible = .F.
With oTemp, for each user chosen doc., I copy a template, open, update, save, and close.
With oAll, I Add a new doc, then InsertFile each doc. created with oTemp, then InsertBreak.
At the end I Quit oTemp; and with oAll, WindowState = maximum and Visible = .T.

The problems I am having are:
oTemp keeps flashing, showing the updating. And when I prompt for user input, all the user sees is oTemp fullscreen with no doc. open.
oAll shows with no menubar and no toolbars. (I bandaged that by taking out the first Visible = .f.)

I want the user to be looking at foxpro prompts, and wait windows, saying which doc it is updating. And at the end, a full functional word session with all the selected docs. Am I going about this wrong? Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.
