Word Templates Opening Multiple Times

Well, some progress anyway. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion of the full path. We have various mapped network drives, and while it didn't need to be a UNC path, using a path with a mapped network drive made the Read Only message go away. Though, admittedly, I don't really understand why.

With a new document opened already and attached to MyTemplate.dotm the code generating the read only message was this:

    With ActiveDocument
        .UpdateStylesOnOpen = True
        .AttachedTemplate = "MyTemplate.dotm"
    End With

The read only message went away with this code:

    With ActiveDocument
        .UpdateStylesOnOpen = True
        .AttachedTemplate = Application.Options.DefaultFilePath(wdWorkgroupTemplatesPath) & "\MyTemplate.dotm"
    End With

I would have thought these two to be the same as the first one would try the default templates folder then look in the "Workgroups templates" folder in Options > Advanced > File Locations. But apparently not.

I have thus far been unable to make two copies of the template open like I've seen before. Maybe something on my system has changed since my last testing. If I find anything on that, I'll post back.

Thanks again
