Jay,
This is Tom, but I couldn't reply from the origianl accout for reasons that
aren't important.
The instructions for the program directed me to place the file containing
the macro in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup. I was under
the impression that this location should make it available to all users.
Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to Quadramed because we are
performing work for one or our clients and they hold the licenses. Somehow,
the client doesn't map any user drives to their domain, so they haven't run
into this problem and don't know how to solve it. Therefore, I have the
pleasure.
I appreciate any insight you can offer.
Tom

Hi Tom,
The main thing that's different between a local user and a networked
user is that they have access to different Windows profiles. In turn,
that means that any files stored in one profile (in the subfolders
under C:\Documents and Settings\login A) aren't available to the
other profile (login B). That includes the templates in C:\Documents
and Settings\login A\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates and the
add-ins in C:\Documents and Settings\login A\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP.
I'd bet that Affinity's installer puts changes (templates, add-ins,
and/or modifications to Normal.dot) into one or both folders, but only
in the local user's profile.
If this is an important scenario for you, I think your only reasonable
course is to contact Quadramed and ask them for a solution.

We are working with a product called "Affinity" from Quadramed. It runs on
top of MS Word 2000 and has a customized macro that is run when the document
is completed. As far as I can tell, this macro saves the file and closes
Word.
The system runs fine if I sign in as a local administrator, but fails if I
try it as a domain administrator. I have used a program called TaskInfo to
try and identify which files are networked, hoping that moving them to the
local drive will resolve the problem but I haven't had any luck.
Can anyone tell me what is different between a local user's Word and a
networked user's Word? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
