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

How does this work if there is a N in the column, as that will have to open
the other word doc...sorry should have explained this more...Thanks for the
reply.

Just change the logic to do the test before the documents open in a simple
If ... Else test.

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