VBA Reference Problem?

[George Lee]

I am trying to port a VBA feature as a VBScript on a Web Page. I keep getting
an "ActiveX object can't create object: 'Word.Application'. Is this a
reference problem? How do you point the page to the where the Word reference
is?

Code snippets will do wonders.
Pls show the code.

The intent is for this .htm file to sit on a share and for users to be able
to open documents on their machine. But how do you set the Word reference to
their computer?

....
dim wordApplication
set wordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wordApplication.Visible = True

dim gSourceWordDocument
'File1.value is the full path name to a .doc file
set gSourceWordDocument = wordApplication.Documents.Open(File1.value)
....

Do you want to open an .HTM file in IE using VBScript?

Why not navigate to the .HTM file then:

dim oExplorer
open_HTM
sub open_HTM()
Set oExplorer = Createobject("InternetExplorer.Application")
with oexplorer
.navigate "c:\AnyPath\test.htm"
...etc

If you want to open in MS Word, the problem isn't yr code.
This should work.

If you save the VBScript as a VBS file and run it, does it come up with MS
Word and the document?

I stil get the same error message. But then again, the network share it's on
is not the same machine where the file is being opened at.
