Thank you Jay, that worked fine. Now I have a followup question. On another
system Word XP is starting from an admistrative installation of Word XP
located on the server. It's root location is G:\OfficeXP. On the C drive of
the client computer I find the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11 but there is no WinWord.EXE within that folder. What would be
your advise in that case? Thanks...

I have a medical billing application that allows a user to launch a word

utilities, I must specify the startup program to launch. In older versions of
Word, I could specify WinWord.EXE or similar. If a long path was needed I
could launch a BAT file that contained the path and the EXE program. I don't
know how to accomplish this for Word 2003. Can any one help? Thank you.

It's exactly the same as for previous versions, the only difference
being the version number (11 instead of 10, 9, etc.). If you accepted
the defaults during installation, the path is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe

If that doesn't work, use the Search function in Windows Explorer to
find winword.exe -- there should be only one on the disk.
