I am trying to open word and a document from within VFP.

When reading about the subject all examples referred to excel, and the following
code:

oExcel = CreateObject( "excel.application" )

Of course I tried: oWord = CreateObject( "word.application " )
and I get the error 'Class definition WORD.APPLICATION is not found'

Further reading led me to try: oWord = CreateObject( "word.document" )
now I am getting the error 'OLE error code 0x80020003:Member not found'.

Can anyone give me any ideas on how to do this?
