Need to use references to Office 9 from Office 11 in VBA

[Guest]

First of all, I am not a bonafide developer, so please forgive what may be a
very basic question.
i have been tasked with developing a management database that will interface
with multiple Word documents. Using VBA, I have achieved success with Office
2003 and the project works perfectly. Unfortunately, not all our offices are
on 2003, some are using Office 2000, except for having Access 2003. I need
to be able to add references to Office and/or Word 9 from an Office 2003
environment. As I am solely office 2003, I cannot find any backward
references for Office/Word 9; all mine are Office 11.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You need to use late binding. Here's a link to a Microsoft Knowledge Base
article that explains the difference between early and late binding ...
