>I am writing an application in VFP7 that needs to create, save, open for modification, and then email numerous MS Word documents. Once I create (mailmerge) and save the docs, I want to open them one at a time in Word and let the user tweak them and save/close them. I don't want to restart Word every time, but GetObject doesn't "Open" the document. I've been all through my Hentzenwerke MS Office Automation with VFP book but I can't seem to solve this.

Larry,
FWIW do not use GetObject() but CreateObject(). In practice, for MS word, you still have one word instance.
OTOH when you mailmerge to a doc you only have a single document having all mails merged.
