Compile Error

[richardb]

I posted this question on the Automation Board but did not get a reply so am
trying here. The first line of a function (that will open a Word file) is:
Dim wrd As Word.Application

However, I get the error "User-defined type not defined". I am connected to
the DAO and Office 10 libraries.

Does anyone have a suggestion.

Add a reference to the Microsoft Word x.x Object Library.
Reference to the Office object library only allows you access to toolbars,
Office Assistants, etc. The Office apps each have their own object
libraries.

Not sure if it is better etiquette to send a one-word "thank you" or better
not to clutter the other guy's mailbox with same. However, thanks, that did
it.

Thank you's are *never* bad etiquette.

You're very welcome.
