    objword.Documents.Open strFileName
    Call WordSetting("Protect")
    ElseIf FileExist(strNewFileName) Then
    Set objTempWord = New Word.Application
    objTempWord.Visible = False
    'strNewFileName = Format(Date, "MM/DD/YYYY")
    'FileExist(strNewFileName)
    objTempWord.Documents.Open strNewFileName, "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", Format(strNewFileNa me, "DD/MMM/YYYY hh:nn:ss", "", vbUseSystem)
    Call WordSetting("Protect")

    Function for FileExist:

    Public Function FileExist(strFileExist As String) As Boolean
    On Error GoTo SystemError

    Dim fs As Object

    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Change the line to:

    Code:
    objTempWord.Documents.Open strNewFileName, "
    and it will open the available options (if you did things right)
