Hello All,

I've always known that it's a particularly bad idea to allow users to open
up multiple instances of Word. The problem is that I'm not really too sure
why...

Does anyone know of the major risks of what can happen? I can't seem to
find much about it from searching the web, but I do know that some subtle
problems can pop up....

Any pointers would be useful as I've had to remove the check from my global
code and it's given me the shakes!

Thanks,

Pete.
