Dan, I finally received more information from my client. The message is
generated by my program. When the following line of code is executed , I
trap for an error (as a test to be assured WORD exists). In the case of
error, I issue a message stating WORD does not exist on this system ... etc.
     oWord=CREATEOBJECT("WORD.APPLICATION")
Apparently the createobject function cannot find "WORD.APPLICATION". I
would assume there is a register problem because the client indicates that
WORD (OFFICE 2003 version) exists. I'm not sure what register value(s)
have to be set in order to find WORD.APPLICATION. Any clues?
TIA
