There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |

I’m not sure exactly what you’re wanting to do here, Kerry. But I’m guessing that you want the user to be able to click some text that says something like “Click here to create a new XYZ document”. If this is the case, you’re wanting to run a macro, rather than open an existing file. The macro code would look something like this:
Sub NewXYZDoc()
Documents.Add Template:= _
“C:WINDOWSApplication DataMicrosoftTemplatesXYZ.dot”, _
NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub
I’m not sure how to make this more “general”, so that the correct template path would be found on the user’s machine. Another guess (should work) is to replace the path above with
Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath), so you’d use something like:
Dim XYZRef
XYZRef = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath) & “XYZ.dot”
Documents.Add Template:= _
XYZRef, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
And I’m not sure if you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you certainly can from a MACROBUTTON field, like the one I included in the DocVarDemo1.dot example I posted (but the user will need to double-click this kind of link).
Brickwalls are what it’s all about 
. Enjoy

Maybe Jefferson could best answer that. Another post (the attachment) that may be of significance is post 261488 (where are you Macropod?) Again, I haven’t looked at the details though.

No wonder my ears were burning.
If you place the AutoOpen macro in a code module in the template you are linking to, it should activate when the user clicks the link and opens the template.
In the future, to edit that template, hold the shift key when opening it to temporarily deactivate the AutoOpen macro.

Andrew you have hit the nail on the head in understanding my problem and your solution would be great except for one major issue.
These templates are part of a complete electronic manual. I have 9 Chapters in separate files all of which have their own table of contents. The forms are referred to in hyperlinks throughout the chapters. Due to the limitations of our departmental network, the complete bundle will be placed on 10 different snap servers. Hence the lack of “relativity” poses a major problem.
I live in hope!!
