Disable vba when starting word 2003
How can I disable the automatic prompts when word starts? I have made some
Fill-in fields and everytime I startup, word starts an automatic prompt. I want to disable this automatic prompt. I want to make a new button in word to start the prompt for all fill in fields. Does anyone have an idea? I have tried wordbasic.disableautomacros and the shift button. |

Not sure what you are asking here. If you save macro code in a *document*
you will get a warning prompt. Save code in templates and set Word security to medium and to trust installed templates and the macro warning will go away. If your need a button to force the prompts, then use the code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm attached to a button. Save this code in normal.dot so that it is available to all documents that require a field update function. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gerard wrote: How can I disable the automatic prompts when word starts?

Dear Graham,
Thanks for your answer an I think I can use your script for launching the Macros via a Button. But I would like to disable the automatic prompts from the Form fields. We have made some templates and when we start a mail merge in SalesLogix (CRM software) they always come up with the Fill in fields we made i the document. We would like to disable that and start a new script via a button. We can make this new script with the help of your link. But we cannot disable the fill-in fields.

The answer to what I think you are asking would be to toggle the fill in
field display (ALT+F9) and remove the \o switches from the fields. Then they should only prompt when you run the script. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gerard wrote: Dear Graham, Thanks for your answer an I think I can use your script for launching the Macros via a Button.

Graham,
We don't use the \o switches. All fillin fields are made without this switch. I have tried to put \m in the code (to prevent macros or autoexec from running). But this doesn't work either. It probably has something todo in the way Saleslogix handles with the mail merge (templates) If you still have another suggestion I would be very pleased. Thanx so far Grtz Gerard "Graham Mayor" wrote: The answer to what I think you are asking would be to toggle the fill in field display (ALT+F9) and remove the \o switches from the fields.
