My sympathies! I'm fighting this with Word and Excel right now. Install the VB help file for Word (and Excel, while you're at it, if you're like me<g>). On your Office Install CD look for the files VBA*.HLP. The one for Office '97 Word is called: Vbawrd8.hlp

FWIW, I haven't researched it all yet, but on my NT 4.0 I can't open the help files--tells me I have an old version of help. So, I read 'em on my 95 machine. I'm sure it's solvable--just don't have any extra brain cells for this problem right now .

HTH

>Where would I find the list of commands that VFP can use to address Word97. I'm stumped with developing a command stream to actually merge a data file with a form file and turn out the merged result. I keep getting errors that VFP doesn't recognize as a member or I get an OLE error.
