POOpening word 2007 from vb 6

Body
copied!<p>I have an legacy project that I am trying to debug on windows server 2003. 1) I cannot get the application to open word 2007 (installed on that machine)<br> 2) I know that the application does open on other computers as it is written - those machines are running xp or windows terminal server,<br> 3) The application is opened with the standard<br> declaration</p> <pre><code>Private wdApplication As Word.Application </code></pre> <p>and code</p> <pre><code> Set wdApplication = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If wdApplication Is Nothing Then Set wdApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application") If wdApplication Is Nothing Then Kill sFileName End If ' other code end if </code></pre> <p>any ideas as to what the windows server doesnt have set that I need to set<br> thank you I tried the methods suggested and it was not successful I went looking through my code library I inherited and I found an application that does run word correctly, it was setup by a different person (apparently)<br> it uses a class to connect to word that has these functions </p> <pre><code>Option Explicit Private bIsNewApp As Boolean Private sErrorStr As String Private oWordApp As Object Private ys As YouthSoft Public Sub MakeVisible() oWordApp.Visible = True oWordApp.ActiveDocument.Select oWordApp.Selection.GoTo 1, 1 End Sub Public Sub StartWord() 'Set oWordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If oWordApp Is Nothing Then Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") If oWordApp Is Nothing Then sErrorStr = "Microsoft Word could not be located or started. OLE Automation Error" Else bIsNewApp = True End If Else bIsNewApp = False End If End Sub </code></pre> <p>Is there some difference between this and the other code that I should be seeing I went through the references and components for both projects and they were the same in this functional area</p>
