Hi, There is a bug in documents.count() In MS Word, which is confirmed by MS. Anyone using this should be aware of this bug. It left me with a problem that our program thought someone was ready using a document which in fact was not true. So we tried to save it and it kept failing. Here is the thread descibing the bug and the consequences: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/worddev/thread/dedc213b-984a-4e7f-a295-41d9881e7977 AND http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/worddev/thread/a91e8ee3-5181-4107-a518-402382305683 Best regards, Ronald van Veelen
