Vartype, type and isnull didn't work.

But what you can try is make your own function

Function OLEobjectExists
LParameter oRef
Local lcOnError, llError, lcTemp
  lcOnError = On('Error')
  On Error llError = .t.
  lcTemp = oRef.Name && If word doesn't exist anymore, this will set llError to .t.
  On Error &lcOnError
  Return llError
EndFunc
