MS Excell Querry

Is there anybody who could tell me how to make a macro who will open ms word file.
I did it with xl files and it was working but dont know how to open word file.

 

You want to open a ms word doc in excel?!?

 

Yes I want to make a macro for that.

 

I don't know how to do it but let me get it straight for others...

Do you want to create a button to open an MS Word Document FROM Excel?

...or...

Do you want to open a MS Word Document IN Excel?

 

Yes

??????

 

By that I meant open a Word Document but have it open in MS Excel and not MS word.

 

I got ur piont.

 

Im not very clued up about office macro's... but its only visual basic!

Have you got the origional code for the xl version? im sure i coudl try to make sense of it? [Is it commented... please say you commented it! (REM's)]

 

You can make macro by using codes or their function. I know both of them but none was working for me. I thought may b I m wrong somewhere. Then I decided to post here.

 

Here is an example

Sub Stat_Manager_March()
'
' Stat_Manager_March Macro
' Macro recorded 3/3/2006 by karanislove
'

'

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"H:\New Folder\Stat Manager\Stat Manager - March 2006.xls" 'This will open stat manager march2006 xl sheet
End Sub

Yea, it seems easy if I would like to change this function to make it workin with word for e.g

Sub Current_Promotions()
'
' Current_Promotions Macro
' Macro recorded 3/12/2006 by karanislove
'

'
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"H:\New Folder\Promotions\Current Promotions.doc" 'it has to open the promotions word file

End Sub
I recieve an error message......which I ve attached.

Its looks damn easy, just write the path of the file but i dont know y its not working......~!

 

It claims the file format is invalid... which (logically) means that you have addressed the file correctly :/

this might be worth a look! http://www.juixe.com/techknow/index.php/2005/11/09/more-ways-to-open-a-doc/

 

I got the right answer


Sub LatestInformation()
'
' Latest_Information_doc Macro
' Macro recorded 3/3/2006 by karanislove

Set appWd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set doc = appWd.Documents.Open("H:\New Folder\Latest Information.doc")

End Sub

i found it here
