Unable to create Link in the Word, using VB6

Hello

I have a code which works perfectly with Word 2000, but causes an error with Word 2003. The error is "Word is unable to create a link to the object you specified. Please insert the object directly into your file without creating a link." This code attempts to create links to a document within word. The code is below, with the offending code highlighted. Please can anyone help?

[code]
Private Sub cmdWord_Click()

'create Word report

Dim m_LastGroup As String
Dim m_LastType As String
Dim m_String As String
Dim m_Count As Integer

Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Basic")

m_Count = 0

Screen.MousePointer = c_HourGlass

On Error GoTo err_keydown
'generating a letter by merging, or replacing
'bookmarks in the letter with data from the screens


WordApp.FileOpen (App.Path & "\Letters\Public Report.doc")
WordApp.AppShow

Select Case dbcReports.Text

Case "WordPublic"
WordApp.EditGoTo , Destination:="Description"
WordApp.Insert UCase("PUBLIC")
WordApp.EditGoTo , Destination:="Type"
WordApp.Insert UCase(datPublicDoc.Recordset.Fields("Description"))
WordApp.EditGoTo , Destination:="Table"

If datPublicDoc.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Then
datPublicDoc.Recordset.MoveFirst

Do While Not datPublicDoc.Recordset.EOF

If m_Count <= 10 Then

m_LastGroup = datPublicDoc.Recordset.Fields("RefCode")
WordApp.Insert (datPublicDoc.Recordset.Fields("Reference"))
m_String = (datPublicDoc.Recordset.Fields("DocLocation"))
m_String = Left(datPublicDoc.Recordset.Fields("DocLocation"), 1)

If m_String = "\" Then
m_Count = m_Count + 1
