vb and word

hi, here is what iam trying to do
i want to press a button and automatically save a file in word...... (vb
sends a ID and when the word file is saved, the filename is that ID that vb
sends in.. is this possible?)
and i wanna overwright if that file exists alread..

any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe this is close to what you want:


Dim WordApp As Word.Application

Kill "Path and Filename"

'Starting Word
Set WordApp = New Word.Application
WordApp.Application.Visible = False

'Open file
WordApp.Documents.Open "Path and Filename"

'Save to path and filename
WordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "Path and Filename", wdFormatDocument
WordApp.Documents.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
WordApp.Application.Quit
Set WordApp = Nothing
