Hi again Randy,

the following code is the starting sequence of a method I use to write data to WORD97 with my VFP5.0a. The *.dot file this method uses (here called format_name) either comes with a PARAMETERS statement or is extracted from a table. As you can use exactly the VisualBasic for WORD97 commands in VFP5.0a, it is very easy to integrate WORD into VFP applications.

lcDotFile = lcDirDotFiles + format_name + ".dot"
oword = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
lcDotFile = lcDirDotFiles + format_name + ".dot"
WITH oword
.Documents.ADD(lcDotFile)
.
ENDWITH

Good Luck
