 Word 97 Macros > Word XP Macros

Hi Everyone,

I have a huge amount of code written using Word97 VBA, our Computer
division is in the process of converting our current MS Office
software from Office 97 to Office XP, consequently I have to make sure
my macros work under Word XP, which they don't.  Word is hidden when
my macros are running, currently under Word 97, when I open another
instance of word, it opens normally however when I try the same thing
under Word Xp, nothing happens.   It appears for some reason that word
Xp won't allow 2 instances of itself open at the same time.  Does
anyone have any idea how I might overcome this.

Thank-You,

Barry
