Default RTF UserForm Run-time error question

You need to create a new template and then select that template in the
Macros in: control and after creating the macro, you need to save the
template in the Word Startup Folder.

I am not sure why you are using RTF documents. It sounds like you should
be creating a template that contains an AutoNew macro that will display the
userform when the user creates a new document from the template.

Doug,

Thank you for your speedy reply.

I am a bit embarassed, I'm not sure how to do what you suggest. When I
create the autoopen() macro for the box "Macros in:" do I us the "All
active
templates and documents" selection?

Does your suggestion affect any of the other RTF merge documents I have
created? I only want this UserForm to open for this one document

The userform would then be displayed when any document is opened.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with an issue I am up against.

Our main software program uses RTF formatted documents to create merge
documents using the data from the program. We don't have an option, we
must
use RTF.

I have recently been assigned a project to create a large merge
document.
I
have created a UserForm to capture and use some data that is not
available
in
the software program.

I want this UserForm to open immediately. I find if I use AutoOpen
(set
up
connected to the document €“ instead of connected to the Normal.doc)
when I
try to merge this document at another PC I get a Run-time Error '91.
And
the
UserForm does not open. (If I merge it using the PC the original doc
was
created on the UserForm opens immediately and without error)

I also tried creating a Macro to manually run to open the UserForm.
And
at
another PC again I get the Run-time Error '91. But I can hit "End" and
then
run the Macro which works.

Is there any way to program a RTF document to automatically open a
UserForm
without getting the Run-time Error no matter who is merging the
document?

Thank you in advance for your help.
