Detect if a word application is running

[Norton]

Hi All,

I have a COM+ application which will get data from database and then export
as word file.

eg.
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWordApp.Documents.Open Filename:=DocumentPath, ReadOnly:=False

For every COM+ operation, the program will create a word instance and then
write data, and the performance is poor.
Is there any method in VB to detect if a Word Application is running, and
use that application instead of create a new one?

Thx all of you!

Regards,
Norotn
