    - global variables - shared subroutines I have the following problem, I have two modules, that means two macros, in my application and there are some subroutines which are common and I was trying to have them in only one module and to call them by module1.sub_name. These subs change the value of a global variable which has purposely the same name in both modules but I noticed that when I call them by that way the value of the global variables do not change. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong or why is this happening? It should be another way except of copying the subroutines in both modules, right?

    - How to create a shortcut on my desktop to print a Word document? I would like to create a link on my Mom's desktop that she can click to print her schedule. I'd like to be able to set the path and filename, and all she has to do is click the link and put in how many copies she wants of the Word document, and it will automatically open up word (if needed) and print the document. I'm not sure if its best to do this with a script, a program, or if it can just be done with options in a shortcut link? Tag: macros disabled in protected form Tag: 71816

    - Merge fields in footers I have a template with a footer with merge fields in it i.e. property address. When other users select this template the merge field populates on the first page only, on any other pages it only brings up the merge field, not the populated field like the first page. In my template under view header/footer the "same as previous" icon is not highlighted. How do i get this footer field to populate on more than the first page?

    - Paste Special Macro -- how to place cursor at end of paste? In my paste special macro, I wish that the cursor would appear at the end of the paste rather than at the beginning. The "placement" variant in the PasteSpecial method doesn't seem to do the trick. So, for now, I'm inserting dummy text ("&&") as a work around. I suspect there is a much better way than what I'm doing. Any thoughts? Here's my work-around. Sub paste_special() ' ' paste_special Macro ' Macro recorded 7/27/2005 by Todd E.

    - reference to the rigth instance of Access I need to get a reference to an already open instance of Access if it is running or open it if not. I'm using GetObject. If no other instances of Access are open I have no problem. But I have no guarantee to point to the rigth one if the user has already opened one. I found an half solution with a strange behavior: Set oAccApp = GetObject(MyFileName, "Access.Application") oAccApp.Visible = True works fine (it open a new instance if it is not open or open and "magically" merge it with the old one if already exists) if I don't have a StartUp Form. if I have a StartUp form, I tried to use: Set oAccApp = GetObject(MyFileName, "Access.Application") oAccApp.Visible = True oAccApp.DoCmd.Close acForm, "Welcome Form" But I get a run time error 2455 . If I delete oAccApp.Visible = True I get multiple instances of my database. Why? Any Suggestions? Thanks Lauro Tag: macros disabled in protected form Tag: 71804

    - make form automation recognize the boolean state of a check box When automating a form, it would be helpful if I could make the exit macro of a check box dependent on the boolean state of that check box. It would be even better if I could enter a command such as "if check1=1 then check2=enabled" or something similar.

    - Select from insertion point to text string, and then do it all over again I am creating 850 static HTML Web pages by using Mail Merge in Microsoft Word. (The static Web pages are then compiled into one metafile.) After I merge the Web page data into Word, I have one, long document that is separated by 850 section marks. I have VBA code that allows me to cut a selection from the one, long document and to paste the selection into individual .htm files. I have not figured out, however, how to define the 850 separate selections in the one, long document. I also need help returning to the one, long document and moving the the next section in it. Specifically, I need VBA code to do the following things: 1. To use the current insertion point as the beginning of the selection or range. 2. To extend the selection or range so that it includes everything up to the next occurrence of the text string "</html>". 3. To call the cut-and-paste VBA sub that I already have. (This VBA sub creates, saves, and closes the individual file.) 4. To return to the one, long document as the ActiveDocument. 5. To move the insertion point to the beginning of the next section. 6. To repeat this action as long as another "</html>" text string exists in the one, long document. Thank you, --K Tag: macros disabled in protected form Tag: 71768

    - Normal.dot gets renamed Hi there, Any ideas why [normal.dot] gets renamed to [normal.dot.old] when an instance of word is called from another application. Situation: Powerbuilder application calls MS Word as automation server with general, out-of-the-books automation code. Extra info: OS: Windows XP MS Office XP UK with a Dutch language pack. Word startup folder (in this enterprise setting) located in user's profile. Problem seems to occur with a virgin/clean user's profile (in other words: first enterprise login session or first MS Office/Word session ... MS Office FirstRun entry in registry = true) We've noticed that the problem occurs once: during first MS Word session. Once the normal.dot's owner file (~$) has been properly deleted (by MS Word after this first session) the problem seems to disappear. What is forcing MS Word to rename [normal.dot] to [normal.dot.old]?? or What is set during this first MS Word session in the user's profile?

    - Listing Word macros Hi, I am working on a project for designers to create automated templates for authors to work into. I am creating a set of standard macros that our designers can amend and take into the code window of a template document, and I would then like to be able to access the macro names to automate the creation of a custom toolbar containing the macros used in the document. Is there a way to access macros as a collection (as you do documents, tables, etc.)? If not, is there any way of getting this information from the active document easily? I have currently written a routine to access the code window, strip out the text to a new document, delete all lines that are not macro declarations and copy them back into the main document to iterate through with a second macro that populates a new custom toolbar. While this works, it is not easily extensible and is pretty inflexible, so I am keen to find a more elegant solution if one exists! I am thinking something along the lines of ActiveDocument.macros(1).name kind of simplicity... Many thanks, Nigel Tag: macros disabled in protected form Tag: 71622

    - Extra characters in Rng.txt compared to Rng In Word 97, I've accessed the text of a range I've defined using Rng.Text. This works fine, but there are sometimes more characters in the text than there are in the range. This occurs if I have a table, for instance, where an empty cell or an end of row is represented by one character in the range but two characters in the text string. It also occurs if there's some autoshapes present in the document. This causes problems to me since I'm using the VB function InStr() on the text string, but need to find the position of my search string in the range. How do I get around this problem?

    - 'Person Name Smart Tag' custom functionality 'Person Name Smart Tags' are available with To/From/Cc/Bcc e-mail addresses of Outlook. If you move the mouse pointer to e-mail ids in these fields, a 'Windows Messenger' icon will appear and you can get a context menu by clicking on that icon. This Smart Tag of Outlook provides the functionality to call or send mail to that person using smart tag menus by leveraging the functionality of 'Windows Messenger'.

Is there any way to modify the name of these smart tag menu items and hooking or capturing the click event of these menu items? How Microsoft Outlook integrated with Windows messenger to provide call facility? Which DLL is responsible for it? Can I hook into that DLL to trap the click of Call menu?

Set the Orientation to Landscape 6. Perform the Mail Merge 7. Print the newly merged document 8. Save the newly merged document using a filename parameter supplied by VB 9. Close both documents I've been able to perform some of the above tasks (1, 6, 9) but I could use some help on the others. Thanks for any help. Keith Tag: macros disabled in protected form Tag: 71558

I have created a word-2002 form that captures student name, operating system,
email address, etc.
I want to create a macro that saves the completed form as 'form data' only
and saves the file as a normal word document.
I will then have the student email both files back to me.
I have created a macro using 'recorder' to change tools/option/save to save
the file as form data only. To create the macro, I had to disable form
protection. When I re-enable form protection, I can not run the macro. How
do I avoid this conflict?
Thanks,

I found that if I reduced the security setting from high to medium, the
macros were now available.
