Is this on 2005 or 2003? In 2005 the GetObject function is flakey at best.

Edit: I see it is 2005. I may have to update the article for 2005

I noticed that in debug mode, this happens 1 out of 3 times, but if I run the program in release mode, this does not happen very often, but it happens.

Right now, what I do is:
when spell checker is launched, I check the process, if WinWord existed, then I ask users save and quit it. Then, in program, I use
' ''If KillMe = True Then
' '' moApp.Visible = False
' ''End If

            Try
                moApp.Quit(False, Nothing, Nothing)
            Catch ex As Exception
                gcLog.LogInfo("WORD Quit Error!")
            Finally
                moApp = Nothing
            End Try

instead of

If KillMe = True Then
    moApp.Visible = False
End If

This way, the spell checker dlg always gets focus and stays at the top when it is called. The cons are:
users have to save & quit word before launch spell checker;

But I do have a question. When the spell checker is launched in the first time, it takes some time, since it needs lauch WORD. In the program I quit WORD. SO, I think when I launch spell checker in the second (or later) time (without quiting the program which launch spell checker), it SHOULD take some time too since it will launch WORD again. However, I found in the second time, it is very fast, just like WORD is launched already although I can't see the process WinWord.

Actually, fast is good, just feel weird. Maybe it has certain relation with the OS? I guess,
