I'm trying to use my VB5 application to open a Word 7.0 document and enter
information from the VB5 application into Word.  If someone could give me a
clue how to start this... I'd be appreciative!

Thanks

NOTE:

I've tried the following code (as a beginning), which opens Word with the
document, but immediately closes it (for some reason):

    Dim MyNewDoc As Object
    Set MyNedDoc = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
    MyNewDoc.AppShow
    MyWordDoc.FileOpen Name:="c:\sample.doc"

(c:\sample.doc is an existing doc)

Hi there

First, if you do not have any typo in the code you put in, please put one
Option Explicit at the top of the code... Anyway, code:

    Dim MyNewDoc As Object
    Set MyNewDoc = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
    MyNewDoc.AppShow
    MyNewDoc.FileOpen Name:="c:\autoexec.bat"

worked just fine on my machine.
Notice that it is always "MyNewDoc ", not "MyNedDoc", "MyWordDoc", etc..

Regards
