CHECK IF PROGRAM EXISTS BEFORE OPENING

[Developerme]

Using Access 2007. I know how to open the program, but I am having tough time
writing code to check if the program exists on the users computer. I want to
check to see if the user has Office Word, and if so, then open the program.
If not, cancel this step. Anyone have a code for this?

I guess you could try to automate something using late binding. If
the application is not installed, you will receive an error message.
If you get the error, then stop running your code.
