Can you give a specific example of how it doesn't work? For example, can you give a sample of code along with the error message?

If you are automating Office (for example, oWord=CreateObject('Word.Application') ), there are differences between 97 and 2000 that can cause crashing. You also MUST have Office installed on the computer that runs your program.

Please post some more details so we can help you.
