this is what i used
dim Wrd as Word.Application, MyDoc as Word.Documen

Set Wrd = CreateObject("Word.Application"
Wrd.Visible = Tru
Set Wrd = GetObject(, "Word.Application"
Set MyDoc = GetObject(MyFilePath

still i get no file loaded in word, as a matter of fact code execution suspends after it runs the last line.
