hello ,

Sorry i repost in english my message for more comprehension ;-)
Sorry too for my english and hello from France.

i work with word 97 from an vb6 application.

I open an session word

i open a document (word.doc) and i make a merge with (merge.txt) with no
problem.

i save my document.
i close my document.

if i try to kill my merge file (merge.txt) to construct another from vb6  i
have an error (permission denied error 70)

my window word is empty.

if i close the window word i can kill my merge file.
So it seem that word doesn't free somme file ......

Any idea ?

this problem is on office 97 (sr1) office XP under windows XP pro and on
server 2000.
