    Unhappy How to program a password for a template that is opened?

    Hey forum people!

    I was wondering how to give a password with the document that is reffered to in the Visual Basic for Applications in word 2003.
    I used the following code :

    Documents.Add Template:= _
    "M:\letter.dot", _
    NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0

    But I cant seem to add a password to it.. so that I dont have to type it
    when "letter.dot" opens (wich is ofcourse protected by a password)

    Hope u can help me.. or at least help me along

    Welcome to the Forums.

    If you use the .Open method then you get the password option.

    VB Code:
    1. Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Test.dot", PasswordTemplate:="123"

    But I can't use the .Open method because then it'll only Open the template and not start a new template based on letter.dot
    And the .Add method does not include the Password option.
    So I'm looking for something else...
