I have a program that uses word automation to open word,
open a document, print a selected document, and closes
word. Before I installed SP4 for Windows 2000, the
following code worked flawlessly:
Dim objWord
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Documents.Open strFileName, false, true, false
objWord.Application.DisplayAlerts = 0
objWord.Application.ActivePrinter = "HP_printer"
objWord.Application.PrintOut true,,0,,,,,1
objWord.ActiveDocument.Close false
objWord.Quit
Set objWord = Nothing
In DCOMCNFG, I have Word set to run under the identity of
Administrator, in order to have access to all network
resources.
This was on Windows 2000 SP3.
Since I installed SP4 for Windows 2000, this Word
automation does not work. Whenever I call the line in the
above code 'objWord.documents.open ... " the program
freezes and the word process hangs. The same happens if I
try to run this code in a macro in Word VBA. Whenever it
gets to the line that opens a file, and the file is on a
shared network resource, it hangs. Again, this worked
prior to SP4. Is there a new security setting in SP4?
I have tried uninstalling Office, restarting, and
reinstalling Office, but that did not work.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
