change attached template

[vin]

Hi,

I am trying to change the attached template programmatically. The word help
says:

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate="C:\TheFile\theTemplate.dot"

but I keep getting a runtime error 5947

Please help

Thanks
vin

Nothing wrong with yr 'code'.
You can assign and de-assign templates back/forth.
Something else is bugging you...

You'll have to forward some more code for the group to investigate

Krgrds,

Hi vin,

I think I've had this problem before. For me it seemed that word was
treating the document as a template (which cannot have a template attached to
it).

Have a look at the properties item in the file menu. In the General tab is
the document "type" listed as a template?

Thanks for your responses. I moved the code from ThisDocument into a separate
code module and it worked. So I am happy and baffled.
