I have a routine which opens Word and writes e-mails to it. When it
closes, I get an error regarding the default template and how it can't
be overwritten because it's in use. This is caused, in part, by using
Word as the e-mail editor.

Prior to running the program, if I manually check my Windows processes
for WINWORD.exe, there is one there already caused by Outlook using
Word as an editor. If I close it and then run my app there is no
problem.

The template being references is Normal.dot and I try to use a
different template right off the bat to get around this.

If I don't close it, I get the error. The Word code within my Outlook
macro is:

*******************************************************
Dim myWord As Word.Application
Dim myDoc As Word.Document
Dim sWordString As String

Set myWord = New Word.Application
Set myDoc = myWord.Documents.Add("C:\Program Files\DLB\DailySRE
\FolderExport.dot")

sWordFile = "C:\" & myOutlook.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Name &
".doc"
myDoc.SaveAs sWordFile

~ SNIP ~

myDoc.Save
myDoc.Close

myWord.Quit

Set myDoc = Nothing
Set myWord = Nothing
**************************************************

This may be the wrong forum, but it is being run in Outlook VBA...
