Tamar:

Thanks for the tip. I added the command "WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT .8" after different automation commands and it worked. For example:

WordObj = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT .8

WordObj.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("&cWordFile.")
WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT .8


To summarize, the user had:

- Windows 2000
- Norton SystemWorks 5.0 version 2002.5
- Disabled the Office Plugin
- Disabled script blocking
- MSWord 2002 SP-1
- Running a VFP6 SP5 exe

The VFP code would open a worddoc, perform bookmark subs, print and/or save the doc to a new file, and then close the original doc without saving changes. It would (sometimes) work the first time but would error out on other attempts with:

Error: 1426/OLE errorcode 0x800706ba: The RPC server is unavailable


And...... this was not a problem w/ Win98.

thanks again.....
