Jeff,

GETOBJECT() when specified with the oleClass will always start another instance of the object (e.g. Word). When used without the oleClass, you will get the same results as Createobject(), that is, it will search the registry for the appropriate class (if Set OleObject is at the default, ON), and start another instance of that application if required, but will not start one if it isn't required.
