Hi All,

Since installing XP service pack 2, I'm getting a run time error 216 (access
violation) when closing my application. I've narrowed the problem down to
the following code snippet:

uses
Word97;

procedure CausesAccessViolationWhenClosingApplication;
var
W: TWordApplication;
begin
W := TWordApplication.Create(nil);
try
W.Connect;
W.Disconnect;
finally
W.Free;
end;
end;

Note that the access violation will only occur if the "winword.exe" process
is not running at the time the above procedure is executed. After closing
the program, it will generate runtime error 216. Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone have a solution?

TIA,
Robert.
