Raind,

I appreciate the feedback. For giggles I removed Office07 from my Vista
desktop and re-installed Office03...problem solved. Where does that leave us
now?

Windows XP and Office07 - OK
Vista Business and Office07 - broken
Vista Business and Office03 - OK
Windows XP and Office03 - OK

I find it hard to believe it is something in Vista, possibly it is a
combination of the two, but it will delay Vista and Office07 implimentation.
