I'm trying to create userforms for programs with DDE, however every time I create a new word document from a template in Excel, Word locks up and doesn't do anything.


To elaborate a little more on the program:


You input information into an Excel spreadsheet and then click a button in the spreadsheet to create a Word document. This Word document uses DDE (manual, not AUTODDE) to transfer the information from Excel to Word ... However some of the information in the Word Document needs to be added after the fact (job name, job number, etc). To be able to do this, I want to create a userform that pops up after the document is created and then, after clicking OK, I want the fields to populate.


Any thoughts?
