I have an application which creates Word documents from a access table using Visual Basic commands.
I open a Word Document Template. Perform calls to move data into bookmarks and save the document (with a unique name) as a .DOC type

My problem is that when I attach the .DOC to an EMail and the receiver try's to open the .DOC it seems to of carried over the template style and is asking to open an SQL command.

How do I create the Word Document without any reference to a template.

Was the document at some time a mailmerge main document?

Of course, you should not be opening the template. You should select New
from the File Menu and the select the template as the basis for the document
that you want to create. Or using code, you would use

Documents.Add("TemplatePath\Name")

not

Documents.Open("TemplatePath\Name")
