Launching Word with VBScript - work only one time

[matsab]

I use the following VBScript to launch a Word application:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=vbscript>
Set WordApp = CreateObject(&quot;Word.Application&quot
WordApp.Visible = true
</SCRIPT>

My OS is Windows NT SP6. I use Word 97 and IE 5.5.

I launch IE and open my page containing this script.

The first time, Word appear correctly. But if i try to refresh my page
(whithout closing IE), Word is'nt launched any more (nothing happen).
I must close and restart IE to make Word appear again.


If i make the same test with Windows 2000/IE 6/Word 2000, the problem
does'nt appear (Word is launched every time i refresh my page).


Someone could tell me how to resolve the problem with Word 97/IE 5.5 ?

Thank you.

Try putting:

WordApp = Nothing

before your closing XML tag.

Thanks James !

I've already try this but it does'nt work...

In fact, i've try to install VBScript 5.6 and with this release the problem does'nt appear. So, the problem seems to come from the release 5.5 of VBScript.

But I have to find a way to make it work with release 5.5 because i can't use the 5.6.
