I am trying to open word with process.start but when it opens word it
give me a error that says:
Word experienced an error
Try suggestions:
* check the file permissions
* Make sure there is sufficient free memory
* Open the file with the text recovery

I think it is some thing with word. Any suggestions??

Thanks
Tom

He is my code

Dim diWord As DirectoryInfo = New
DirectoryInfo("C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\Office11\WINWORD.exe")
If diWord.Exists Then
wrdApp = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\WINWORD.exe"
Else
wrdApp = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Outlook\Office11\WINWORD.exe"
End If
'set open dialog properties
With Me.OpenFileDialog1
..Filter = "PDF (*.pdf) | *.pdf|all files (*.*)|*.* | Word Documents
(*.doc) | *.doc"
..FilterIndex = 3
..InitialDirectory = path
..Title = "Open File Dialog"
End With

'show the open dialog and if the user click the ok button
'load the file
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

'Get File name
strFileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
MsgBox(Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

Process.Start(wrdApp, strFileName)

End If

End Sub
 
Write down the command to see if it looks correct? You could also launch the
..doc file. It will launch the associated Word application...
