hi i need to open a xltm, edit some fields and closed it again without user interaction...
my problem is that every time i try open the file it opens a new file and not the template

the code i'm using is ...

Code:
Set Z = Workbooks.Open("C:temp/tmplte.xltm")

can somebody explain why the openbook code does a new instead of a edit...
and is there a different method so save it ?

Thanks

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
