Hi Michael,
the following works at least in my environment.
Dim aDoc As Document
Set aDoc = Documents.Open("c:\test.doc", Visible:=False)
MsgBox "open"
aDoc.Close

Hi Michael,
I guess, there must be something else wrong.
I've tried it a dozen times,
used the same method for the posting
"getting a line from another document."

i think you should do as the following
dim app as new word.application
app.visible =false
dim doc as word.document
set doc = app.documents.open("...")
....
doc.close
