Specify Word 2007 in Word.Application?

[kelsita_05]

Hi-

I have a very simple mail merge set up with bookmarks from Access 2007. I'm happy with it, however I need to specify that it opens Word 2007, as unfortunately both 2003 and 2007 are installed on these machines (out of my control). I was hoping that having the Word file be .docx would do the trick, but apparently not.

I've noticed that it always opens 2007 on my computer, but when I tried it on another machine it's opening 2003. Could that mean something?

Here is the section of my code that starts Word and gets the file:

Dim objWord As Word.Application

'Start Microsoft Word.
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

With objWord
'Make the application visible.
.Visible = True

'Open the document.
.Documents.Open ("C:\Documents and Settings\etc.docx"

Is there a way to specify 2007 in the "Word.Application" part?

Thanks so much!

If you are referencing the Office 12 object try using

set objWord = new Word.Application

instead of the createobject method.
