Looks good. This is one place where I would pass the parameter as PRIVATE instead of local. The problem we have is that when calling Lotus Word Pro as we're doing, the form that calls launches LWP, is already up and I still have to change the name of the file on the fly.

But by calling a form and adding the object on the fly, I was able to get the DocumentFile changed. It still feels like a kludge though.
