what is the vba code to open a word document (.docx) from excel.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Here's a sample...

VBA Code:
Sub test()

    Dim wordApp As Object
    Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    
    wordApp.Visible = True
    
    Dim wordDoc As Object
    Set wordDoc = wordApp.documents.Open(Filename:="c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.docx") 'change the path and filename accordingly
    
    'do stuff
    '
    '
    
    wordDoc.Close savechanges:=True
    
    wordApp.Quit
    
    Set wordDoc = Nothing
    Set wordApp = Nothing
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!
