Using Word 2003 in an Application

H

Helen Trim

I have a Visual Basic application that stores documents as HTML but uses Word
to create and view them. When a user closes a document, it also closes Word
for them. So they have got used to using either cross to close their
documents. The
code uses application.quit in the document's close event in the class module.

We have upgraded to Word 2003 ( this is the NHS, we're a bit slow ). Now if
the user closes the document with the top cross ( close application ) then it
works. But if they use the second cross ( close document ), it leaves a
'ghost' copy of Word open. This copy of Word can't be closed normally and
then it crashes after a couple of seconds.

Has anyone else come across this? Any ideas why 2003 is different to
previous versions? Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Helen
