How to open a drawing? newbie.

This maybe very basic, but I can't seem to do it, or find any reference to this. How can I open an existing drawing into ACAD with vba? (code example please, would be very helpful)

Second, I have setup a macro that attaches a drawing, and runs a query report against that drawing. But I would like to apply a simple transformation to that drawing, but I'm not really sure how to go about it.

 

ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open FileName

 

Ok, now how do I close the drawing I just opened?

ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Close ("D:\Acad\Drawings\test.dwg")



Doesn't work

 

Are you trying to close the drawing that ThisDrawing is referring to?



 



If so, this should work (note change false to true if you want to save changes):



ThisDrawing.Close False



 



If not, then this should work:
For i = 0 To Application.Documents.Count - 1
    If sNewFile = Application.Documents.item(i).FullName Then
        Application.Documents.item(i).Close False
    End If
Next
