Obtain Word folder

[patricktully]

I want to shell to Word in my VB program. Should I use some sort of API call to try and find the Word default folder and executable? If so, what should I use?

I really don't want to loop through all the folders on the hard drive to try and find it.

Thanks,

PT

I'm sure our API experts will find a quicker solution to this, but your solution can be reached using OLE Automation:

Dim wrd As New Word.Application

debug.Print wrd.Path

Don't forget to add a reference to Word8.0 library , and don't forget to close the object ofter you've finished...
