If you add automation to your code, it will include all the things you need to invoke word.

Hi...
Matt..Thanks for your suggestion. I have gone through the link and came to know that the application uses COM. Actually i am looking for a way to develo an application which will be compatible with WinCE also.
I tried with CreateProcess and i could able to invoke microsoft word. Now my problem is to open the .doc file. I am not able to open it.
So i need plain SDK [win32] calls for opening the word file.
Please suggest.

Thanks
Sanjay

You should be able to do this with the function "ShellExecute".
Check the links below for more information.

I got it with both ShellExecute and CreateProcess.
Thanks for your help...
