Hi!
To check if file already opened in Word:

For Each aDoc In loWord.Documents
    If lcFile $ aDoc.Name
        docFound = True
    EndIf
EndFor
If !docFound
    loWord.Documents.Open(lcFile)
EndIf

>From this line:

>loWord.Documents.Open(lcFile)

>I would like to detect if the open was successfull. In development, I faced a situation where I had the file open. So, a dialog was prompted. I would like to detect that and take action.
