I tried that but it still seems to give the same result.
Any idea how to force the document to save to save location as the excel document that opened it?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsWell i am totally lost with this piece of code and have to turn to you experts to figure out what i am doing wrong or if what I want is even possible.
I have an excel workbook that has VBA code to open a word template, which is not opening it the way you would expect a template file to be opened. Typically when you open a template file it opens a copy of that file as a new file which does not appear to be happening. The template is located on the network not the users template folder, which shouldnt matter, excel does not seem to have this problem.
The second problem i am having is that i want the intial open of the file to save it to a new location or same location as to where the excel file calling the macro is stored, however it always seems to save it in the users My Documents.
