Greetings all.
I'm new to this forum and pretty new to Word macro programming to please bear with me...

I have developed a custom macro-enabled building blocks template ("MyBuildingBlocks") which, in addition to various standard document components, includes a number of userforms which are designed to guide the user to insert the correct building block to start his document with;

• The primary form ("frmTemplateOptions") asks users to select a category of document using radio buttons. Then depending on the option chosen;
• The correct one of a choice of secondary userforms ("frmOptionA", "frmOptionB", "frmOptionC", etc) is called up asking users to select a specific document from within the selected type, again using buttons;
• Finally, the relevant building block is inserted according to the selection made.

Referring to various articles online, I have created a macro ("CallUF_TemplateOptions") within a module ("modTemplateOptions") in MyBuildingBlocks with which I can successfully call up the primary userform. This then correctly takes me through my selection options and inserts the required building block.



If I start Word and manually call up the primary userform using this macro, everything seems to work fine. My problem is that I want the primary userform to flash up automatically every time I create a new document (i.e. open word for the first time as it is set to open a new doc automatically, or press Ctrl +N, click on the New Document icon on the QAT, etc). I do not want it to come up if I open up an existing document (either when I chose file/open from within word, or if I right-click on the Word icon in the start bar and then choose an existing document).

I've managed to get halfway there by adding some code to a public AutoExec sub in a second module ("modLaunchPrimaryForm"). This successfully calls up the form when I first open word, but:

• If I create another new document from within Word it does not launch
• If I open an existing document it launches and I have to cancel before the exisitng document opens up

I suspect this is really simple if you know what you're doing - which I clearly don't - so any pointers to help me get on the right track would be much appreciated.

Is your new document based on the same template as the first. The template is the document that holds the code. If your new document is not based on the same template then there won't be any code to call.

You should also have a look at AutoOpen.
