Automation/Return

[Tammy]

I have a form containing a button that opens MS Word when
clicked. The user must be able to edit the document and
close it out. Once he/she closes the doc, the form
appears again. I thought it was actually losing focus,
but apparently that's not the case. Anyway, I am needed
to close out and initialize the objects once the user has
closed out of word. I cannot "tack" these commands on to
the end of the code which opens the doc, as it will
immediately close the doc and the user is not allowed to
edit the form. I am sure this is a fairly simple
question - I am a beginning level programmer!

Also, one other question - would this process be better
or more efficient if I actually used linked docs?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
