Isolated Word Server

[Daniel Knueven]

I am writing an application that uses word through it's COM interface. I can
open and process documents fine. The problem is when the user opens another
word document (via double clicking on a file). As I process my document, I
occasionally show and hide the document I am working on. This causes all
documents to hide. This is the problem. I need to find similar functionality
to IgnoreRemoteRequests (Excel.Application) object in the word SDK.

Thanks,
-Daniel

There is no such equivalent for Word. What property or method are you using to
show/hide a document? And which version of Word are you automating?

I think I have solved my problem. I was using the Visible property in the
Application interface. I found the Visible property in the Window interface.
It allows me to just hide my document's window and not all windows. Once I
get my hands on the Office 2000 type libraries, I will reference them to be
compatible with 2000 or better.

Thanks,
