I want to export my report to Microsoft Word. When I run the command from VB:

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptInvoice", ".rtf", "MyReport"

I get the error:
Code:
  "Run-time error '2282':

   The formats that enable you to output 
   data as a Microsoft Excel, rich-text format, 
   MS_DOS text, or HTML file are missing from 
   the Wondows Registry."
After some debugging its looking like I'm I have the wrong parameter to specify MS Word (i.e., ".rtf" is wrong). I can't find any online documentation on this. What value does one use to spec MS Word?

Thanks!

Found my problem. acFormatRTF is what I needed.
