I'm having some trouble with opening Word2000 on NT 4.0. I have a scheduled VB6 executable running on the machine which starts up word to do some processing. However, intermittently, I get a Dr. Watson error saying that WINWORD.EXE caused word to fail due to an access violation and I get the following output in the Dr. Watson Log:

Application exception occurred:
App: (pid=316)
When: 12/16/2002 @ 2:6:11.76
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)
