Every line produced an error.

This is how I finally got it to work.

oform = CREATEOBJECT('form')
oform.ADDOBJECT('owordobject','oleboundcontrol')
oform.owordobject.CONTROLSOURCE = 'c_parent.contract'
oform.owordobject.doverb(0)
oform.owordobject.SAVEAS(lcdir+lcfilename)
oform.REMOVEOBJECT('owordobject')
oform.destroy && not necessary
oform.release && not necessary
oform = ''
RELEASE oform

You MUST have the DOVERB(0) AFTER assigning the CONTROLSOURCE. If you don't, it won't release WINDWORD.EXE.

THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNDER Windows XP. My original source worked fine on XP. It seems to be a WINDOWS 2000 issue. It was happening on SP2 and SP3.

Thanks.
