>Thanks for the quick reply, but I found out that my old copy of Word 97 was corrupt. When I started it the "licensed to" was blank. Anyway, I reloaded Word 2000 and it fixed it all.

Glad you found the problem and it was an easy fix.

>I guess anytime something works sometimes and doesn't at other times, it may not be the code.

That can be very true with Automation. When I've banged my head against the wall for a long time on something that "should" work, I try rebooting. It's rare that I have to reinstall, but it has happened.

Glad you got it fixed!
