Help - Passing a Default Directory to Word from VFP

[dobber]

I use the run command from within VFP to use Word (RUN /N C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\WINWORD.EXE) and I would like to be able to set the default directory that Word uses to open and save files to be the directory name contained within a variable in VFP. For example - I have a variable within VFP that contains C:\AUDITS, how can I call up Word (from within VFP) and have it's default directory (where it looks for files when you issue FILE, OPEN) automatically changed from C:\MY DOCUMENTS to C:\AUDITS?

The closest thing I could find, Dobber, was to use the /m switch to specify a startup macro, and somehow have that Word macro do the work.

For your purposes, would invoking Word via COM be sufficient? You'll have very fine control of everything.
