Dim strApp As String strApp = "Word.Application" 'check to see if Word is running If Not IsRunning(strApp) Then Set WordApplication = CreateObject(strApp) Else Set WordApplication = GetObject(, strApp) End If strApp = "" ANYWAY TO MAKE SURE IT ONLY BINDS ONTO A SPECIFIC VERSION OF WORD IF TWO VERSIONS ARE INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE? any help greatly appreciated Jason |

the 'VersionIndependentProgId = "word.application"
you could try to use "Word.application.10" have a look at the registry hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool (jason) wrote: I'm running the below code: Dim strApp As String strApp = "Word.Application" 'check to see if Word is running If Not IsRunning(strApp) Then Set WordApplication = CreateObject(strApp) Else Set WordApplication = GetObject(, strApp) End If strApp = "" ANYWAY TO MAKE SURE IT ONLY BINDS ONTO A SPECIFIC VERSION OF WORD IF TWO VERSIONS ARE INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE? any help greatly appreciated Jason |

KeepItCool can you explain what a "hive" is and how looking at it will help me: if its all a bit involved and involves a big explanation then can you point me in the direction of an explanation looking forward to hearing from you Jason keepITcool wrote in message . .. the 'VersionIndependentProgId = "word.application" you could try to use "Word.application.10" have a look at the registry hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool (jason) wrote: I'm running the below code: Dim strApp As String strApp = "Word.Application" 'check to see if Word is running If Not IsRunning(strApp) Then Set WordApplication = CreateObject(strApp) Else Set WordApplication = GetObject(, strApp) End If strApp = "" ANYWAY TO MAKE SURE IT ONLY BINDS ONTO A SPECIFIC VERSION OF WORD IF TWO VERSIONS ARE INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE? any help greatly appreciated Jason |

nice one keepitcool
putting the ".10" at the end works fine jason keepITcool wrote in message . .. Jason, a hive is another word for a registry key (and its subkeys) in a normal install you'll get the most recent version regardless what you call: (unless maybe there's RUNNING instances of 2 different versions?, when you might be able to call GetObject(,"word.application.10") Sorry, I can't test at the moment Isn't it enough to check which version you've got, once you've set your variable? keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool (jason) wrote: ahhh...the spiral Man!

You need to do more testing Jason. .10 on the end does nothing according to
articles published by Microsoft. The last version registered will be the version used by GetObject. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "jason" wrote in message om... nice one keepitcool putting the ".10" at the end works fine jason keepITcool wrote in message . ..
