I suspect that the OP wants the script to run on the client. However, a long, long time ago Microsoft recognised the security implications of permitting the calling of objects in client-side scripts and just about put a stop to it. FWIW, I fell foul of this in 1996/97 when the parts of a web application I'd written to use Word and Excel client-side to format data suddenly stopped working. -- Geoff
