dw.openDocument Crashing Dreamweaver

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie.

I have a strange and sporadic problem.

I'm creating a new document by doing the following:

1. Copying a template to the appropriate folder.
2. Opening the template as a document by using dw.openDocument.
3. Saving the document.

My problem is that every so often the operation of dw.openDocument crashes Dreamweaver (completely shuts it down).

Does anyone have any insight?
Or, does anyone have a better approach to opening a new document from a template.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.
