Basing this on BASIC > information on php.net - the COM methods are not well documented. OK, I hate it when I'm wrong... but I was wrong. The "COM_invoke" method isn't working on my php4. Matthew, your code (with a properly installed php4) should work... try commenting out lines starting from the end of the script and work your way backwards... find out where the error is occuring. The following script executes on my machine (Apache/php4.0.2dev): <?php $word = new COM("word.application"); print "Loaded word version ($word->Version)\n"; $word->Visible = 1; $res = $word->Documents->Add(); ?> Of course, this isn't working PERFECTLY... while I don't get any php errors, the winword process that get's launched never terminates :( (can't even manually kill the process in task list under nt) Anyone else have more experience with the COM code??? -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb office: LVL G1.2607 email: andy.hoffman@bms.com phone: 609-252-5788
