I wrote a very simple VB6 application that stores data in an MS Access db. A user may select various letters or label options which pass variables to MS Word templates which merge with the Access Db and generate the relative output. The application worked just fine with MS Suite 2000 word. However, with MS XP/2002 these functions do not work. I added the most recent components to the application hoping that would work and still nothing.
My next option is to rewrite the letters and labels to use the db only and eliminate the use of Word.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Microsoft is makin' hard the life for develop, when his obiective is to make pay his versions of products.
Have you installed the sp1?
And now, i've gets some problems, MSDE, ODBC and SQL (DB system) are down the bad power of the SAlammer virus.
I think that the app must run, like on 2000 pro, just in a regolar XP pro o versions.

.. using a rocket launcher, if possible..

.. but seriously, I think there were some changes in the Word object model between these two versions, not sure exactly what, but it sounds like it was enough to break your app. Bite the bullet and ditch Word.
