I have developed a database application that has a memo field tied to a RichTextBox. I have added the neccessary code to send the contents of the RichTextBox to Word through automation and it works fine.

My questions are thus:

1)I am using Word 2000 on my system and have included the neccessary References to enable the above to work. Will this work if the user has word 97 instead. Some of our user have Word 97 while others have Word 2000? If not, what needs to be done to do so?

2)In the event that the user does not have Word on his computer at all, how can I check and automatically disable this menu option so that I don't get an error?


Thanks,
