>Using GETOBJECT with a Word 2000 document loads the doc up on my laptop that has Office 2000 Professional installed.

Does the GetObject work if you follow it with the parameter telling what to bring up?

oMyWord = GETOBJECT("C:\VFPTraining\letter.doc","Word.Application")

Could be .doc is not know what to bring up. Just a guess.
