Depending on what automation task I'm trying to accomplish, I tend to
wrap the initial object creation in a try..catch these days. Something
like this:
TRY
loWord=GetObject(,"Word.Application")
CATCH
ENDTRY
IF VARTYPE(loWord)=[U]
loWord=CreateObject(,"Word.Application")
ENDIF
That way I can get the running instance if one exists and it also
eliminates those ugly COM errors surfacing to the user when Word or
Excel, etc. can't be found.
