Opening Word document from Access

[BCarruth]

I would like to be able open up a word document using a particular template. I don't know how to specify which template to use.

Thanks Bob

Do you mean you want to specify a template when you create a new document? You do that with an argument to the Documents.Add method call that creates the document:
Set docMyDocument = wrd.Documents.Add Template:="template name"

If you really mean you want to open an existing document with a specific template, you can't. You can change its template, though. You do that by setting the AttachedTemplate property of the Document object to the name of the new template:
MyDoc.AttachedTemplate = "Normal"
The change will only be temporary, unless you save the document after you change it. Rick Sprague
