 RPC Server is unavailable

Why do I get the error: "Automation Error The RPC Server
is unavailable" when I try to start Word from Access.  I
am using Office 97.  If Word is open, I do not get the
error.

Thanks in advance for the answer!

Hi Larry,

Do you use code to automate Word from your Access application? If so, is the variable that holds the Word application object invisible? This can cause the error you describe.

For more info, see this KB article:

Hope this helps,
regards,
Astrid
