Detecting addins that are loaded.

[Ian B]

Hi

As a background I have code which returns the path of a template in the
"addins" collection.
This works fine, but to be more specific I only want the path if the
template is also loaded.

Code snip straight from Help file (Word 2003)
~~~~~~
If AddIns("Dot1.dot").Installed = True Then _
StatusBar = "Dot1.dot is loaded"
~~~~~~
This returns Error 5941, "The requested member of the collection does not
exist"

Can anyone assist please. It must be an environment issue, help files are
not often this wrong.
There are no missing References.

Any ideas much appreciated.

TIA

Try using the complete file path, rather than docName.extension.
