Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
If Range("H1").Value = "Y" Then
Set oDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open("C:\personal\bob\doc1.doc" )
Else
Set oDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open("C:\personal\jim\another.d oc")
End If
'do something
Set oDoc = Nothing
oWordApp.Quit
Set oWordApp = Nothing

If your VBA is non-existent, what will you do with the doc when it is
opened?

open
the other word doc...sorry should have explained this more...Thanks for
the
reply.
