Opening a word document

I have a little problem opening a word document on a LAN drive. The code I am using works fine if I am using one of my local drives but gives me this error when I switch to the LAN ("ActiveX component can't create object")

Here is the code:

'Documents.Open (SearchDirectory & "\" & File)'

Searchdirectory is the path and file
is the filename to be opened.


Does anyone have any idea why this wont work on a lan? or what to do to fix it?

By the way....I am using NT

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

I am doing this in Windows 2000:
FileName = "h:\IrpInvoices\" & vInvFileName 'Production

Set objectWord = New Word.Application
objectWord.Documents.Open (FileName), , , , , , , , , Format:=wdOpenFormatText
This is working and in production. I guess you made sure your search directory is returning the correct path.

Thank you very much!!!

I had already tried declaring it as an object but I didnt use the 'Format:=wdOpenFormatText'.

It seems that was they key...


Thanks again
