auto copy text file into doc

[Sandy Eastman]

I have a text file that is created every morning. Unfortunately I have users
who don't know enough to close a text file when they are done reading it. If
it is left open over night, then the next morning the new updated file can't
be created as the old file is locked.
I was hoping to make a word template that would use "Document_Open" to copy
the text file into a word document and when the user closed the document,
kill it.

Can someone help me with this.

Dim pFileName as long

pFileNum = freefile
Open MyTextFile for input as #pfilenum
Activedocument.Range.InsertAfter input(LOF(#pfilenum), #pfilenum)
close #pfilenum

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Dim pFileName as long

pFileNum = freefile
Open MyTextFile for input as #pfilenum
Activedocument.Range.InsertAfter input(LOF(#pfilenum), #pfilenum)
close #pfilenum








it.
