Hi Brian Gabriel

Try logging into the account the script is using. Then start Word. For Word to
work properly when invoked as a COM object it must have been manually started at
least one in that particular account. It seems that the very first time Word is
started it initialises itself.

I built an application for a client that runs Word from a System Service, and
it took me forever to work out why it worked in the IDE but not when run from
the service component!!!

HTH + Cheers - Peter
