Curt,
Your code work if the file exist, otherwise err.number=5174.

You sure the A drive (floppy ?) is accessible and has that file name
present
?

You can add a
WRDAPP.Visible = True
to see what word is doing/showing.

Have tried many examples with no luck
Want to build a macro that will open a word doc (card.doc)
