well it is to add to my app that is already out there... but let me ask you this... if you didn't have office on your system that you had VB on, you wouldn't be able to set a reference to word, excel, etc.. right?? so by installing office, isn't that when those files are put on your computer and registered... so if they all have office then they should have the files right??

I am not doubting you.. just trying to find out for sure before I bother writing this code out...

because lets say you install office (but not VB) you could set a reference to excel via access VBA right???
