Whilst I bang away at this on my own I figured I should throw it out to the collective wisdom. I noticed recently that both CreateObject and NewObject are failing to instantiate an object for Word 2016. GetObject works fine to retrieve a running instance. Excel works fine.
oo=CREATEOBJECT([word.application])
results in OLE error code 0x80080005: Server execution failed.
Google fu has failed me so far. If anyone here has had success automating Word 2016, please share your magic tricks.
Thanks.
