Hi sherry -

If you want to open it anyway, you can use the API function
ShellExecute() or even the Vfp RUN command.
If you want to open it in MS Word, you'd need COM automation.

oWord = CreateObject('Word.Application')
oDocument = oWord.Documents.Open("MyDocument.doc") && specify full path
for mydocument.doc
oWord.Quit
Release oWord


also here is some more complex info
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WordAutomationPrintMerge~VFP

a google search will return many more results.

A great book is
Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro

Hope this helps
John

I have not worked with MS Word "DocVariables" myself yet - however,
in general you can
- use the MSOffice Macro Recorder to track almost any interactive user
action and translate the resulting VBA code to Vfp syntax.
- read Tamar Granor's book on "Microsoft Office Automation with
Visual FoxPro", available at http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/autofox.htm
