[mso] Open Word Template In File/New Format

Can anyone show me how to write something into my Word template that will
cause it under any circumstances to open in file/new format and is there a
down side to setting this up in a document?

Sorry to be so long in reply, this project got temporarily put aside for
other workload.  Are you talking about the Document_Open of Microsoft Word
or on the Microsoft Access side.  My explanation was bad, it's not the
opening as a doc that is a problem, it's that when Access opens the Word
document it opens the template as if you were opening from the file/open
menu in Word instead of opening as file/new.  This causes the automation in
the form to not activate.  I'm not finding on the Access side how to
accomplish this and do not know visual basic on the Word side.  I am barely
making my way through learning Access code by trial and error, so I'm
needing help on the Access side if possible, cause I am very lost in Word.
Also, I've got merge fields in some of the Word forms I'm using that feed
from the Access side, however, is there a way to pass that field data into
the Word form when you open it, thereby doing away with the merge and still
accomplishing the data portion.  Thank you, Cathy

Templates are SUPPOSED to open as docs. Just add the automation into the
Document_New event to get it to fire properly. It's probably in the
Document_Open or Auto_Open/Exec events. It should be in the Document_New
event.

Subject: [mso] Open Access OLE Word Doc as Template


Hello, I have an Access 97 database with linked .dot forms.  Clicking the
link opens them in Word as documents, not templates, causing loss of the
automation built into the forms.  Have tried embedding as OLE instead of
link but it still opens .dot as .doc.  Have been searching the net for code
solutions but no answers. Can anyone help?  Thank you! :)
