    make Word 2000 the default application

    Hi Blue, Thanks for writing. When i bought the computer, it had Word 2002 already loaded. I installed Word 2000 later. So Word 2000 is the last version on my machine, but it still goes to Word 2002 as the default. So unfortunately, your method won't work for me. But thanks again for writing.

    Set references by code

    Sorry, to clarify: I get the runtime error if i run the code more than once. i plan on putting the code in the autoexec.bat macro so it runs everytime the user opens the database.
