I am using a template document to automatically start a user form in Word 2003.

The user form contains command buttons, each command button opens a specific
template document.

Once the command button is clicked, the required document opens, however the
user form needs to be closed before the document can become active.

Is there a code that can be placed within my original template document
which automatically deactivates the user form and allows the selcted document
to become active?

I do not necessarily want to close the user form, just deactivate it so i
can use the opened document.

Regards
