Your code works! I cut and pasted it into the VFP6 command window, changed the file name of the document to one that is available on my computer and varoom MS Word97 loaded with the document opened Michael G. Mahnke

I cut and pasted your code into a VFP6 program. It works very well.

This may be a stupid question, but is Word installed on the machine you are trying to run this on? And, if it is, is it properly registered with the Windows Registry???

If you do have Word installed, What version is installed?

Well, to every body that are trying to help me: first of all thanks for your help, you makes me happy when you told me that my code work, but I try again and nothing, it is not work to me yet, and really I don´t know why. I installed and unistalled the VFP 5.0 and 6.0 once and again but this not worked.

The error is:
"Error code OLE 0x80080005" after run the procedure

and my Microsoft office version is XP

The meaning of this error is:
Server execution failed (0x80080005) Specified OLE object is registered as a local OLE server (.exe file) but the .exe file could not be found or started.

I think it's an issue with OfficeXP.
This might be something that all of us who have developed automation for Office97/2000/etc might worry about; Hopefully it's just an OfficeXP installation error on his machine.

(BTW, for more OLE errors,

I'd agree that it's likely an install problem. I just used the code to open a document on my system - OS: XP Pro, Office: XP, VFP: 6.0 SP5 & 7.0 SP1

Bigdad,
Are you using a Private Data Session? If you are, try (humor me here...) and set it to 1 - Default, and see if you get the same response...

I tried your code with Win.98 and Office XP and it works.
