Open New from Word Template

[MIG]

I think there's plenty of advice on opening Word documents using VBA
in Access, but does anyone know how to open a new document based on a
template?

I've been able to open the Word template from access for editing, as
happens when one opens it from within Word, but I want to open a new
document based on the template (and run the AutoNew) as when you run a
template from Windows Explorer or do a File, New.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Just a quick search gave me this link to export a report to Word based
on a template. If all you're doing is opening a blank document from a
template, it should be even easier than what is shown at the link
below. May not help you, but seeing as how you have no reply yet, I
thought it worth a shot.

SQL Server Reporting Services is free and it is 100 times better at
generating word docs than mountains and mountains of VBA code

OK ... so the bit that's actually doing the work is
wdapp.Documents.Add as opposed to .Open?

That's pretty simple but I didn't spot it.

Incidentally, would that create a copy of a .doc file or would it have
to be a .dot?

Thanks.
