Dick,

Is your oWord object going out of scope?

>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,
