Macro for inserting a files selected from a directory (on a networ
in [Word VBA]

Prev: Can't link a table to excel within a Filling in Form protected doc
Next: Macro needed to insert a file chosen from a directory
From: Marley on 2 Jun 2010 20:17 I'm looking for a macro that I could add to .dotm so that I can insert selected files into my main document: From the document > click on a toolbar icon > open the correct specific folder to display the list of files in that folder > Select a file to insert it into my main document. The reason for going this way is to let people change the word files but keep them out of playing with Quick Parts/Autoext in the template itself as files might change and the list of files int eh folder might be added to. I had one I found on this community which worked on my home PC but I seem to be struggling with it at work on the network. Getting to the folder was OK but I struggled to get it to insert the file as it kept looking at my C drive. Can anyone help me? Thanks
