Alright, we have found the answer.....
It is an Office 97 issue. The solution is to use a hyperlink object like this.
oHyperlink = CREATEOBJECT("Hyperlink")
oHyperlink.NavigateTo("C:\VFPTrain\letter.doc")
This launches Word 97 with the document loaded!
Tada! Thank you....thank you very much! (Elvis has left the auditorium)
