>>>I created a process in VFP7 which creates a Word Document for Word 2002.
>>>
>>>The following is a code snippet that runs fine for the Word 2002 in WinXP.

>>>However, my customer has Word97 loaded on a WIN98 machine.
>>>
>>>The result of this snippet on their machine is ... it builds the table with 6 rows and 4 columns with no data in the cells. That means the program fails somewhere after the 2nd line of code in this snippet.

>>>Just wondering if someone happens to know what the problem might be.

>>>I don't think I will be able to code this for Word97 but thought someone might happen to know what is wrong and that might fix everything. I know I am dreaming but I can hope can't I ?

>>>Any other ideas would be welcomed.
