Retrieve Name of a Document That's Being Opened ?

[KenWit]

A message box I made pops up when I open a word document that reminds me of things to do with my current project(s). "Italicize dialogue," etc. I put the code in Normal's ThisDocument/Open. Somehow I'd like this macro/message box to be skipped when "notepad.doc" (a document I made set aside for notes) is opened.

If I could retrieve the name of the file while it is being opened (and only the 2nd instance of the application is visible) then I could just put into the code:

if documentbeingopened.name <> "notepad.doc" then
msgbox "message"
end if

(I always have my main document opened when I open this other document, via a button on a userform.)

Skip that question. Made an embarrassing error.

Activedocument.name does retrieve the name of a document being opened. It's case-sensitive though.

Documents("NOTEPAD.doc").name works but not Documents("notepad.doc").name. (The file name is in all-caps.)
