The first method is getting a reference to an already open document. The second method is getting a reference to a document that you are opening. What version of Word/Access are you using? =========Both are 2003. If I comment the first and add the file name to the second, it fails. +++++++++Bryan -- I tested it this morning and it works fine as either/or -- I have no idea why I couldn't get it right yesterday. But you are correct, and it's working as expected now. Thanks! Susan H.
