    <p>There are two pieces of bad news to give here.</p> <p>1) A document has to have a template. You cannot remove it, only change it to something else.</p> <p>2) Changing a template does nothing anyway. See <a href="http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/templates/attachtemplate.html" rel="noreferrer" title="Changing a Word template">this page</a>.</p> <p>I am wonder if the problem with the Open method is that you are trying to open ".doc" extension files, not the modern ".docx" extension files. The VBA subroutine you linked to only does ".doc" files. This VBA code does both:</p> <pre><code>Function StringEndsWith( _ ByVal strValue As String, _ CheckFor As String) As Boolean Dim sCompare As String Dim lLen As Long lLen = Len(CheckFor) If lLen &gt; Len(strValue) Then Exit Function sCompare = Right(strValue, lLen) StringEndsWith = StrComp(sCompare, CheckFor, vbTextCompare) = 0 End Function Sub ChangeTemplates() Dim strDocPath As String Dim strTemplateB As String Dim strCurDoc As String Dim docCurDoc As Document ' set document folder path and template strings strDocPath = "C:\tmp\" ' get first doc - only time need to provide file spec strCurDoc = Dir(strDocPath &amp; "*.doc*") ' ready to loop (for as long as file found) Do While strCurDoc &lt;&gt; "" If (StringEndsWith(strCurDoc, ".doc") Or StringEndsWith(strCurDoc, ".docx")) Then ' open file Set docCurDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strDocPath &amp; strCurDoc) ' change the template back to Normal docCurDoc.AttachedTemplate = "" ' save and close docCurDoc.Close wdSaveChanges End If ' get next file name strCurDoc = Dir Loop MsgBox "Finished" End Sub </code></pre>

    1. COWe recently migrated our templates to a differently named server, and some of the documents became very slow to open as Word tried to access the templates that were not there. This procedure fixed the slow startup time of those documents. So changing a template does do something...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
