Best of luck. Graham. No :-( Word is working and as far as I know registered. We don't actually report automation errors (something I'll change). I don't have a great deal to go on myself unfortunately. I'm not on-site and the agent is the man in the middle. I suspect it's either something to do with security or Office is incorrectly installed. Pretty certain it's not our app (working fine in 100s of sites), but you try telling the them that! Anyway, it'll have to wait until Tuesday. I'm off to France for the weekend for a ball (held for the anniversary of the battle of the Somme). p.s.

See if your code or config.fp has SET OLEOBJECT OFF, if yes then turn to on, or you will don't be able to create automation objects.

Re: Help - cannot create word.application
Depending on what automation task I'm trying to accomplish, I tend to wrap the initial object creation in a try..catch these days. Something like this: TRY loWord=GetObject(,"Word.Application") CATCH ENDTRY IF VARTYPE(loWord)=[U] loWord=CreateObject(,"Word.Application") ENDIF That way I can get the running instance if one exists and it also eliminates those ugly COM errors surfacing to the user when Word or Excel, etc. can't be found.

Hi All,
I've got a problem with a site that has me stumped.
Our app has a feature where users can write their own reports using
Word. The app creates an Excel sheet and fires up a user-created Word
document that is linked to the Excel sheet and perform a mail merge.
Works great and is in use in many sites. All done using Automation.
Now we have a new site (a Hotel) that is about to go live. The site
was previously installed by our agent in Ireland and was working OK.
Yesterday they reported a problem. Office reports were only working
on 2 out of the 4 PCs. Today it's only 1 out of 4. It looks like our
app cannot create an instance of Word -
CreateObject("word.application") seems to be failing.
They've tried re-installing Office and running as Domain Admin but
still no joy. Also tried opening Word before running the report but
still no luck.
I'm running out of ideas here and the hotel is going live tomorrow.
They use these reports to print welcome letters etc for the guests so
it's quite important.
I created a .VBS script that works the same way and this opens Word fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? Could it be a group policy or other
security setting???
Help!

RE: Help - cannot create word.application
Paul,
Using CreateObject will fail if an instance of Word is already running. Have
they got Outlook open as this uses Word to edit emails? In which case only
allow editing via the text editor under Options.
