Syntax
object.AddFromTemplate (filename As String) As VBComponent
object.AddFromTemplate (ByVal pathname As String, [exclusive As Boolean]) As VBNewProjects
The AddFromTemplate method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| filename | Required. A string expression specifying the path and filename of the file to open as a template. |
| exclusive | Optional. Default = False. A Boolean expression. If set to True, then the existing group project is closed and the new project is created as the only open project. |
| pathname | Required. A string expression specifying the path to the file to use as the template. |
Remarks
If the file type referenced is a group project file, and exclusive is set to False, then all projects in that file are created as templates and added to the current set of open projects. If exclusive is set to True, however, the current group project is closed and a new group project created, and all projects within the group project template are created as project templates. The object returned by the method is Nothing.
New project or projects are given the usual default names.
