Using Office 2003 and Windows XP;

I am opening a file as a template (Workbooks.Add) to keep users from
damaging a form that is opened from a button on a toolbar.

However, because the template is unsaved, it's a bit harder to work with.
For example: Workbooks("TemplateName").Activate
The above didn't work for me to switch back and forth between files.

Is there another way to reference an unsaved template file so I can activate
it when needed?

Just personal preference, but I'd rather not use an object reference when it
is added, however, I will if it is necessary...if this is the only way, could
someone please post example code on how to get the object reference? --- and
then, does the object reference stay available even though the file loses
focus?

Thanks much in advance.
