How do I stall/delay auto open

[pluz]

I have 10 documents that are being opened in Word 2k. One of the documents contains an auto open macro w/userform that performs a search and replace in all 10 docs. Problem is, the doc with the code does not wait for the other documents to open, it just starts running. Is there a way to stall or delay the macro until all docs are open? Docs are coming from dms (iManage). Thanks for whatever help I can get here!

The Application Object has a Documents Collection, whose Count Property represents all open documents. You could just instantiate a Timer Object and every timer event, check the Application.Documents.Count Or, if you hate the Timer Object as much as I do, just write a loop inside a loop that counts to 1000 then checks the Count. When it is equal to 10(or whatever your number is), go ahead and do your processing.
