i am opening a word doc from vb
I want to open a new document not one that already exists.
Also when i open a document i get an error message saying it is locked by
another user(my own computer) and i must view in readonly mode.
How can i change it so that i can open a new word doc nd not have that error
come up??
Here's my code

doc = App.Path & "\Doc1.doc"

Set objWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWordApp.Documents.Open doc
objWordApp.ActiveDocument.UpdateStylesOnOpen = False

Addtion to Jan's reply:

As for the error, how do you finish with the objWordApp? Is it visible when
your code is running? It is possible that if your code run into error, an
instance of Word is left in memory with a document open. So when you try to
run the code again, you get that error message. Go to Task Manager to check
whether there is a Word running or not when you get that error.
