Hello,
There is something I don't understand, when I create a WSH script with
the two lines below :

Set objwrd = WScript.Createobject ("Word.Application")
objWrd.Visible = true

and that I execute it, Word is opened.

But if I try to do the same thing in Outlook2002, in a form with a
button using the code below :

Sub cmdGo_Click()
    MsgBox "Button clicked"
    Set objwrd = WScript.Createobject ("Word.Application")
    objWrd.Visible = true
End Sub

The message box is displaid but not the Microsoft Word.

So what must I do to open Word ?

(I use Outlook2000, Word2000 and WindowsNT2000)
