Hm..would that be right before I reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows? :) I know, you told me you're grasping at straws, and I appreciate the response. But Word 97 itself works just fine in Windows 7. It's just the automation that's messing up. >2 - In Task Manager, display the processes running and make sure you >don't already have an occurance of Word running. Playing with automation >often times leaves these Office apps dangling.... Yes, it leaves Word dangling every time it throws the OLE exception, but I always go into Task Manager and kill it before trying again. I'm pretty surprised that nobody else has any insight into this. If you're doing Word automation with Office 2003 or earlier and VFP 9 in Windows 7, would you at least please let me know what your experience has been? Thanks.
