Bob,

Thank you. I had had the late binding reference in the macro before and took
it out. This got the program to run correctly.

Thanks,

I have Office 2000. I have written a progam to run in Excel and to open a
Word document and print the Word document with the Excel spreadsheet. The
program works fine on my computer (it has XP Professtional), but when I
try
to use it the same program on 2 other computers ( 1. Windows 2000
Professtional, 2. XP Professtional) the program will not run correctly.
The
only difference I can see is on my computer I have Microsoft Word and
Excel
11.0 Object Library and the others do not. Can anyone help me fine the
libraies that I need?
