Vlad:

Thank you for providing the extra parameters. However, my question still remains and I will rephrase it to make it clearer.

I issue the following commands in VFP6, SP3 anbd I have Word '97 and Word 2000 installed on two different machines.

loWord = CreateObject('Word.Application')

This works:

loDoc = loWord.Documents('c:\temp\MyDoc.doc')
loDoc.PrintOut(.f., .f., 0, '',,,,1)

This also works:

loDoc = loWord.Documents(1)
loDoc.PrintOut(.f., .f., 0, '',,,,1)

This does not work:

loWord.Documents('c:\temp\MyDoc.doc').PrintOut(.f., .f., 0, '',,,,1)

This also does not work:

loWord.Documents(1).PrintOut(.f., .f., 0, '',,,,1)

Why does it work if I use a refrence to a document created on a separate line (loDoc), but not if created on the same line as the PrintOut?
