Sure. It's a different platform. Stuff is going to break. IIRC, there were some timing issues in Automation due to anti-virus engines getting called (internally to Office) just after document loading that caused further commands to fail or timeout. Plan on a controlled pilot test and expect you'll need to do some debugging and patching. > I have a client using an app I've written with automation which is working > fine with Word 2000.

It's always been their standard to suggest you upgrade to the latest version and that does make a lot of bugs go away. Of course, it also brings on new bugs. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
