Hi Bret,
>I have a win 95 machine and the create object command below works fine. Just a wild guess, but is Word installed on the Windows 95 machine and what version is it?

Yes Word is installed in fact I've been playing with a Windows 95 test machine and it bombs on it. We are working with Word 97.

Is there maybe something that should be installed that isn't? We have a standard pc setup and Office 97 is part of that. I've checked and we have all the SP's installed too.

Thanks
Bill
