I have a script that opens a Word template and saves a new document, 
using the recorded Microsoft VB gobbledegook, like so:

	set filepath to "Server:Edit:test"
	tell application "Microsoft Word"
		activate
		do Visual Basic "Documents.Add 
Template:=\"Server:Edit:Template\""
		do Visual Basic "	ChangeFileOpenDirectory 
\"Server:Edit:\""
		do Visual Basic "	ActiveDocument.SaveAs 
FileName:=\"" & filePath & "\", FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument"
	end tell

Worked fine until just the other day, now all of a sudden it gives 
"Ambiguous filename detected : tmpDDE" and highlights the first line 
above that its suppose to open the template.

I tried recording the same steps again, got some slightly more 
elaborate gobbledegook, and when I ran that I got the same error.

The Template file was lost and replaced, so that may have something 
to do with it, but AFAIK it's the same Word template file.
