How do I reference controls from a global template?

I'm currently trying to access them via TextBox1.text.
Dim dte As String
Dim dte1 As String

TextBox2.Text = dte
TextBox4.Text = dte1

Works fine when it works from within the template. Any time I move the
template to the Word Startup folder and create a New word document with
embedded controls I can not access them.

Thanks in Advance,
