Jim,
If you don't have a good reason use new object model.

oWordBasic = createobject('Word.Basic') && Word.basic
oWordApp = createobject('Word.Application') && Off97 and up

Word.Application object has wordbasic object to support word.basic commands if you want :

oWordApp.Documents.Open(...)
oWordApp.WordBasic.Fileopen(...) && Same as oWordBasic.Fileopen

oWordBasic.FileOpen(lcFileName,,,,lcPasswordDocument,,,lcWritePassword)
oWordApp.Documents.Open(lcFileName,,,,lcPasswordDocument,,,lcWritePassword)
