There maybe a problem if you only have Word 2000, so post back if the thread doesn't help. Since you have Word 2K, I would use post #2 in the thread for the code, but don't forget to set a reference to Microsoft Word x.x Object Library on the COM tab. --Sam

I tend to avoid automation of specific programs like that unless you have very specific requirements. Now you did say you wanted it to open in Word 2000, but is it a problem if it opens in the user's default .doc program?

If you use something like this

System.Diagnostics.Process pRun = new Process();

pRun.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\SomePath\TheFile.doc";

pRun.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

pRun.Start();

It will open in whatever program they have that handles .doc's. Just like a double click on the file.

Good point! I just assumed the Komal was going to use other Word objects. Thanks! --Sam
