Who said anything at all about reopening, I was running code that opens a new instance of Word, inserts and formats some text. Caching doesn't play any part of it. FWIW, NT4 WS is more configurable than Win98 for tuning performance. NT4 Server is too, but servers need to run other processes to maintain their integrity, so in reality, there is only so much you should do to tune performance on a server. SQL-Server provides an almost unlimited tuning capacity (assuming you have enough memory) in conjunction with NT performance tuning.
