Cannot open a macro enabled word document
I uploaded a macro enabled word file to a web application and when I tried to
open it through the application I get a message €śFile Error€ť..where as I can open it from my hard drive. When I tried to download that file to my system and open it I get the same message. Please help |

I doubt anyone can say much about an unknown web application. But this latter sentence suggests that maybe the file was damaged during upload (often: ASCII instead of BINARY via FTP). 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Cannot open a macro enabled word document
Hi Robert
Thanks for the reply. This is a web application written in VB.net and SQL Server2005 as back end. In this application users can upload their departments procedures and manuals. Most of the files are in pdf format.. While some are in word format. Only macro enabled documents face this problem. If that is the case how can we rectify it? "Robert M.

Things to look into: How are the documents stored on the server? How are they opened through the application again? What format (*.doc or *.docx/docm) are you dealing with? When you can establish that the document is fine before uploading, then try to copy it directly as it is stored on the server and open it. If that alredy throws the error, then you know that either during upload or through your application storing it on your server/in your DB, the file integrity has been violated. If the files are still good there, well, then it's the downloading process. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
