I am currently preparing a template generator using Word VBA.<br />
<br />
The Userform consists of option boxes and the programming behind the boxes simply tells it to open the files. &nbsp;This works perfectly for Word documents.<br />
<br />
However, whenever i give it a path relating to an excel spreadsheet it simply crashes. &nbsp;I am a novice at vba!<br />
<br />
Could someone provide a vba example of how to open a specific workbook in excel from word and make it appear in a normal excel window and visible?<br />
<br />
I am creating quite a few template generators in the near future and this would be very helpful.<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />

Open an Excel Workbook using word VBA

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
