I have no idea...it is a VFP error though...and it craps right out...the session on WordPerfect keeps going....

>Yeah, it's wordbasic. I was just explaining what Evan was referring to. It doesn't apply to Juan's problem.
>Joseph-
>That's strange that the code you gave crashes VFP. I have never had to use the = in 5.0. Following is a snip from the first code I ever wrote to automate word. It has been live for many months, and never had a crash:

>Wait window "Printing..." nowait
>wrd = CREATEOBJECT("WORD.BASIC")
>wrd.filenew
>wrd.toolsoptionsprint(,,,,,,,,,,,0,,,) && Turns off background printing in word
>wrd.ToolsCreateEnvelope(,,,,,,, envaddress,,,barcode ,,,, 1) && Sends address string and prints
>wrd.toolsoptionsprint(,,,,,,,,,,,1,,,) && Turns background printing back on
>wrd.fileexit
>wait clear

>>>He is using Word 7.0. The problem with Word97 was that certain VBA commands generated OLE errors when issued from VFP. I think that file.exit was one of them. The way around it is to just use wordbasic instead of VBA. Contrary to what seems like a popular belief, wordbasic works fine with Word97.

>>> after you instanciate word, have you tested to see if the createobject was successful?
>>>Does oleobj.show generate the same error?
