I have a big problem with which I need some help desperately.

I am trying to commnunicate with Word 6.0 via this method.
Eg.
        Dim WordObj as Object
        Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
        WordObj.FileNew.Template "mytemp.dot"
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                This line gives me the error

The trouble is when I get to opening a new file based on the template
'mytemp.dot' I get the error message
        Error 437: OLE not returning a value

I get the same error when I try the line
        WordObj.FilePageSetup.LeftMargin "1.5 cm"

It works fine when inserting text
Eg      WordObj.Insert "Hello"
This also works fine
        WordObj.FileNew

Any help or suggestions very much appreciated,

Erik
