I'm sending a report from a VFP6 form through Word (97) for printing. When I get the report finished, I want to make Word visible and active until the operator has a chance to do any modifications, prints it, and either closes Word or returns to the VFP application (where I will close Word).

The code looks like so:
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
* create the report
* now I want to make it visible and activate it
oWord.Visible = .t.
oWord.Application.Activate()
* the Visible works, Word flashes on screen and immediately closes
* and I'm returned to the calling (VFP) form.

How do I make Word stay active until the operator closes it ?

TIA,
Dick
