NAV 2007 install breaks VB6 Word automation app

Hello,

I have a VB6 app that creates an instance of MS Word (Office XP) to create
documents. It has been working fine for several years. After installing
Norton Antivirus 2007, the app throws an error whenever I try to access a
property or method of the Word object. For instance, the actual object gets
created fine:

dim wdApp as Word.Application
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

(no problem yet)

However, as soon as I try to access a property or use a method of the wdApp
object, it throws error # 91 (Object variable or with block variable not
set). For example:

wdApp.visible = True

raises the error.

I've tried the following things, with no success:

> Reconfigure NAV to NOT scan Microsoft Office documents
> Reconfigure NAV to exclude .doc files
> I even completely uninstalled NAV

Any suggestions? Thanks

RC

Oh, the good old Norton virus programs.

I removed mine for exactly this reason.
