Trying to open a File

[Steved]

Hello from Steved

I'm trying to load a "PRN" file into "Word" please

My Attempt is below

Sub RaceArchiving()
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\racebase\"
ActiveDocument.FileName:="PRED1.PRN"
End Sub
Thankyou

PRN files are meant to be sent to a printer, not opened in Word.

Hello Susanne

If I double click on PRED1.PRN, it will open in Word as this is what I have
Done,
Yes "PRN" as you correctly say is a print file, which I do send this to the
printer, but sometimes the text needs changing hence the opening of this file
in word.

If the text needs changing edit the original document and regenerate the prn
file.
