Welcome to the forums.

To open a word document, set a reference to the Microsoft Word Object Library. Then use something like

Dim oWord As Word.Application
    Dim oDoc As Word.Document
    
' This procedure demonstrates using the Execute
' method to replace text.
 
    Set oWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
    If oWord Is Nothing Then
        Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    End If
    
    oWord.Documents.Open FileName:="c:\test.doc"
    oWord.Documents("test.doc").Activate
    
    Set oDoc = oWord.ActiveDocument

.frm forms are fundamentally text files, so you can actually open them with Notepad. There is only one VB6 compiler, and it comes with VB6, and is not free.

Use what editor?

[aicheema]

I am using Microsoft Visual studio and version is Visual Basic 6.0 . Actually when I open the IDE there were alot of options. I was not sure which one I have to pick.

Ok, gotcha.

Step 1. Click Project/References

Find Microsoft Word Object Library

Click the checkbox next to it.

Click OK.

Now you have the proper reference to use Word in your VB program.

The code to open a Word document that I orginally posted should work now.

What line does this occur on?

[aicheema]

Set oWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

It says Compiler Error. Invalied Outside Procedure. Also I created a New Project Standard EXE and clicked the code and insert your code into form opened and then I run it .

Please also look at the screen view in attachment

Move all of the code from where you have it and put it in the click event of a command button.

[aicheema]

Yes, It works .

Thanks alot

The code window that you opened up is the General Declarations section of the form.

Variables that will be used through the form are declared there. API declarations for calls that will be used through the form are declared there. But, event driven code, like what you are using to open your word document, must be used in a control's click event, or in a sub or function that is called by the controls click event.

[aicheema]

[Hack]

Yes, It worked once

Did you change anything after it worked?

[aicheema]

No, I juts tried to create it one more time

Attached is an example. It works just fine. All you have to do is change the name and location of the word document.

That sample code is for VB. I think you can translate it into VBScript, but I'm not sure. Also, in order for it to work, the user has to have Word installed locally. Can you be sure that all people visiting your web page will have Word installed on their PC?
