VBA equivalent to SHIFT + Right click OPEN

[Neil Humphries]

I need to search the content of a number of files with AutoOpen or AutoNew
macros without having the macros run. I can do this from the keyboard by
holding down the SHIFT key and selecting OPEN from the right click (context?)
menu. How do I do the equivalent using VBA?

Wordbasic.DisableAutomacros 1
Documents.Open("C:\myfile.doc")
Wordbasic.DisableAutomacros 0

Thanks, Jonathan. That works just fine.

Now if I could get a workable answer to my post of January 26th "Making a
document open a userform in the originating template", I would be in great
shape.
