Need to change this code, so that the document will open as PDF or open as a docuement that can not be edited or saved as on someone else's computer. PDF is probably what it needs to be in. I've listed the code below. Right now it will open as a word doc, but I can not allow the document to be saved as a doc for fear of alterations being done on the new saved as doc. See attached code.

Folks, I just want to clarify my request.....There are about 200 templates to choose from. They are pulled from a templates folder on a network server, the merge is performed in Word, but the code is written in to Access. I still want it to merge via Word, but then immediately convert to PDF so that the sales reps can only view the pdf file. If they want to save it fine, but at least they can't alter it in any way. So the button is listed on the form in Access, it pulls the correct template based on the order item, ans merges via bookmarks. I hope this makes sense to everyone and I can zip the dbase to you if you have any other questions or clarification. It does not actually have to save as a pdf, it can simply just open as a pdf. I do not think a password option would work, but I'm not an expert at programming.
## Platform
Windows 2000, Access 2000, Word 2000
