>I have written a VFP program which uses ole automation using Office 2000. I want to port this application to another machine which has Office XP installed instead of Office 2000. Because I do not own XP and the other machine is 1200 miles away, I am wondering if the Word and Excel objects will be created and the program run as expected or will I have to change the code for Office XP. I am making calls to both Excel and Word.

The answer is both yes and no. Theoretically, anything that works with Office 2000 should work with XP, but in practice, I have run into some issues related to changes made in XP. The stuff I was doing was pretty esoteric, so not worth getting into here, but the answer that you'll need to test.

FWIW, I have an extra machine running Windows XP and Office XP, just so I can test stuff like this.
