ActiveDocument - AutoOpen

[dickohead]

Good morning,

I am trying to create a macro that will allow me to recall the AutoOpen
function of the current document.

I have been trying the following with no prevail:

From within my Normal.dot file, this one only causes errors.

Sub Reset_Document()
Application.Run ActiveDocument.ThisModule.ThisProcedure
End Sub

and this one does half the job

Sub Reset_Document()
With ActiveDocument
.Reload
.ResetFormFields
End Sub

and this one only errors

Sub Reset_Document()
With ActiveDocument
.ResetFormFields
AutoOpen()
End Sub

Now the middle one causes my fields to be cleared, which is nice; but I have
some Input boxes that appear when the user opens the document and they do not
appear.

So my question is: How do I recall the AutoOpen function of my document from
a Macro stored in another document?

On another note, how do I highlight code?

If your document is being created from a template, the template probably has
an Autonew macro in it and it is probably that macro that you may want to be
re-running.

the documents are standalone files, with a .doc extension. They could be
template files, but it doesn't change much sich the files are being access
from within a Sharpoint Site, so access is restricted anyway.

How would I programatically reference another document, given that the name
of the document will change?

Something like: ActiveDocument.AutoOpen() sort of made sense to me, but it
doesn't do anything.

It's alright, this is how I did it:

Sub Reset_Documents()
ActiveDocument.RunAutoMacro wdAutoOpen
End Sub

Thanks Doug, you got me thinking about what I was actually trying to
reference.
