Open Word from Access problem

[Bruce B]

In Access 2000.
Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library reference is set.

I got the following two pieces of code from Help from the Object
Browser. Both of them are giving me the same error: "Run Time Error
'429' ActiveX Component Can't Create Object"

Code # 1:

Documents.Open FileName:="blah.doc", ReadOnly:=True

Code # 2:

Set MyDoc = Documents("blah.doc")
myDoc.Versions(myDoc.Versions.Count).Open

blah.doc, of course is the name of my own file; it is located in the
same folder as my .mdb file.

Thanks.

syntax should look something like this:

Private mobjWordApp As Word.Application

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Const conTEMPLATE_NAME = "\Templates\merge.dot"

Set mobjWordApp = New Word.Application
With mobjWordApp
.Visible = True
.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
.Documents.Add Template:=(.Options.DefaultFilePath( _
wdUserTemplatesPath) _
& conTEMPLATE_NAME)
End With
End Sub
'****** Code End ********

You never set a reference to Word - no early or late binding... that's
part of the problem.
