Error: Server threw an exception

[dcronje]

There is a portion in my program which converts a .doc file to a .rtf file. It always worked fine, even when I installed Word 2007 at a later stage. When I run my program on a PC which has Word 2003 as well as Word 2007, it gives me this error:

Automation error
The Server threw an exception

(I searched previous posts for this error, but they do not deal with Word versions)

Step through your code to see which line generates that error, at least...

Are you using Early or Late Binding?

The error occurs in the 4th line:
Dim oApp As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Set oApp = New Word.Application
Set oDoc = oApp.Documents.Open(FileName)

(Sorry, maybe because I'm a self taught programmer, I don't know what is early & late binding...?)
