Open Word Documents With Different Templates

[jtrapat1]

I'm using VB6 with SQL Server.

I have two Microsoft Word templates.
I'd like to know if it's possible to open either of the word documents with a different template.

I was thinking of creating two word templates -
Both of them will have macros underneath which will prompt the user for the correct directory.
One that will be read-only in which the user will be prompted to SaveAs to his own D:\ drive
and another one in which it will be editable and saved into the current directory, along with any changes.

All of our Word documents are saved in a folder on the server.

My question is:
Do you know if there is any way to open word documents based on different templates?

Is this possible?

Thanks
John
