Opening Word and Documents,,, Automation Error

[twick10]

I am having trouble opening Word and a document from VB (and Access for that matter)

I copied the following code from the MSKB Q313193.

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim oTable As Word.Table
Dim oPara1 As Word.Paragraph, oPara2 As Word.Paragraph
Dim oPara3 As Word.Paragraph, oPara4 As Word.Paragraph
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Dim oShape As Word.InlineShape
Dim oChart As Object
Dim Pos As Double

'Start Word and open the document template.
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add

'Insert a paragraph at the beginning of the document.
Set oPara1 = oDoc.Content.Paragraphs.Add
.
.
.


An instance of Word open with no document.
When I hit the Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add statement I get
Run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)':
Automation Error


Anybody have any ideas on what would cause this.


Thanks

You should dim oWord as an object, if you are going to run with late binding.

Yeah ...

Dim oWord as Object
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Add
