Referencing a Word document that is already open

[heedaf]

Thank you for the replay. So you kind of gave me a solution. I tried what you suggested but I got the file already open problem. If I use part of the original code but use your option for the range it works. Any idea why? (I'm trying to do this from within Access)

Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim oRng As Word.Range
 
Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Set objWord = GetObject("C:/temp/test1.docm")
 
Set oRng = objWord.Sections(1).Range
Debug.Print oRng.Text
End Sub
