View Word Document in VB Form 1

[mans]

Hello,

Can you please let me know how can I open a Word template file using the Word object within a VB form. I do not know how to attach the document to the form, I have not been able to find any documentation in this regard. I use VB6 and MS Office 2000.

Thank You

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim wordApp As Word.Application
Dim z As Word.Document
Dim iHandle As Long, iFrame As Long

Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set z = Word.Documents.Open("C:\1.doc") 'hardcoded
wordApp.Visible = True
iHandle = FindWindow("OpusApp", vbNullString)
iFrame = SetParent(iHandle, Form1.hwnd)
End Sub

Thank you very much for your response. I have a tab control that has a Word document in it, when I double click on the Word documnet to edit it, it opens up MS Word outside the form. I would like the MS Word document to appear within the tab control, not outside it, can you please tell me how I can do that.

I'd use an OLE control in preference to all that SetParent stuff
