Christof,

It's odd, because I can run ow=createobject("word.application") without a problem. I must have some registry problem. (Along with two of my co-workers.)

>Alternatively you can specify the typelib's GUID and version directly. You find the GUID in the description field of root entry of the type library in VFP's Object Browser.

I tried the following, sorry for this simple question, but what is the correct
syntax to include the version of the typelib?

IMPLEMENTS ApplicationEvents2 IN "{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

Also, is the GUID the same for all versions of Word? I want to be able to support Word 97 and up.

Thanks, John
