Triggering Save As dialog box when updating a dotm file

Hi Charles,


I am saving a copy of a .dotm file because I need to add some functionality to the macro-enabled template. When I add the new functionality, the .dotm file stops triggering the Save As dialog when the file is opened.


To test what went wrong, I simply opened a working .dotm file, made a minor change to an existing comment line, and saved it.


Even this stops the function where opening the .dotm file results in the Save As dialog.


Regards,
Aman

Hi Greg,
I think, as you said, maybe the CustomDocumentProperties.Count is not 0.
Any input on how this can be fixed?


regards,
Aman

I think now I know what I was doing wrong.
Let me try it and if it will work, will update the solution here.

Just to clarify:


You are opening the template for editing, not using it to create a new document?
You want a backup saved in addition to the one provided by the Save Backup function?


Again, the customary use of a document template is the creation of new documents based on the template, not opening the template.
