Word 2007 Templates on network drive
I have my macro enabled templates stored on a network drive, mapped
from my various computers. When I try to use them in Word 2007, I run into all sorts of problems. They loose their macro storage space, they give me messages like "EOLALPHABETICARABIC..." Was this information helpful? when trying to save the NORMAL.DOTM. I find that if I move them to a local drive, and change my file locations back to the local drive, all works much as expected. Can someone provide me with some clarification about why network drives are so different now (I'm working on a 2GB cables network connection), and how I can perhaps get this convenient functionality back. PS I don't want a roaming profile. |

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Hi Carol:
The "difference" is in how file locking is applied to network files. On the local file system, typically the workstation employs "Simple File Sharing" where a file is either locked or it isn't. On the network, files can be opened in multiple "access modes", and by multiple users. Word will always attempt to open each file "Read/Write" (i.e. In Edit mode). If you open a file "Read Only", Word normally applies an Edit lock anyway, and then releases the file by discarding the changes. It does this to ensure that it gets an Exclusive Read. However, I am afraid that Word 2007 clearly says "on the box" that it is a "Beta" version. "Beta" means they know various parts of it are broken. Looks like you found one. How about you try Synchronising the templates to a local folder? Since I assume your network templates don't change very frequently, it should be sufficient to schedule the template folder to synch with the network on shutdown/log-off each day to keep them up-to-date and local. Hope this helps On 6/8/06 8:34 PM, in article , "Carol Chisholm" wrote: I have my macro enabled templates stored on a network drive, mapped from my various computers.

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Oh well I'll report it. I thought it might be new functionality to
encourage us to use Sharepoint to mange everything for us. It's just more convenient to use the server with shadow copies and backups when working in unstable environments.

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Is the location of the templates on the network drive trusted? If not,
you might run into some macro issues. You can add the location to your trusted locations in Word Options, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings, Trusted Locations. Note that you need to enable remote locations as trusted locations first on that page before you can add a remote one.

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Hi Carol,
I'm interested in knowing a little more about the issue you are encountering. What file location are you using to point to your templates? Is it the User Templates location or Workgroup templates? What do you mean by 'lose their macro storage space'? Do you mean they revert to templates with a *.dotx extension? Also, are you being prompted to save Normal.dotm each time you exit Word?

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Hi Beth,
I started with a new build of the computer in question (Vista 5384) with the MSDN Office 2007 beta. I then added my network drive to the trusted locations and changed both the user and workgroup template file locations to the appropriate network drive locations. I deleted the local normal.dotm file which got created on my local drive and re-started office. The macro in question is an autonew macros which prompts the user to choose the directory to save the new file in, and then generates a sequential date-based (yymmddxx.docm) name for the file. It then add selected bits of the file path and name as a reference in the footer of the document. The resulting file should be save as a macro enabled document. This all works if I have the templates in the default location. C:\Users\carol.SMALLDOM\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates I change the user templates to U:\templates and the workgroup templates to U:\template\_invoice (both on the same server with U:\ and subfolders as trusted locations). I then open an invoice template and get a Microsoft Visual Basic "file not found" error, with only OK or HELP as options. I choose OK and a new document is created, but not saved, and I get a Microsoft Office Word error: "Could not open macro storage" with OK or HELP. I choose OK again, and get to my document onscreen without the footer information, not saved and with the default name. I have some further macros in the document for preparing the invoice, these show in the Tools - Macros - Macro list but do not actually exist, I cannot run, step or edit them. When I exit Word I sometimes get a prompt to save the normal template and sometimes gobbledygook about "EOLALPHABETICARABIC" I can't reproduce the gobbledygook at the moment.

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Off-hand it doesn't sound a like a Word 2007 bug but rather an error
in your VBA Project. I'm wondering if you have a reference in your Project to one of your templates but the reference is pointing the old template location rather than the new on the network drive. Open the VBA Project and check Tools/References to see if this is the case. Regarding your "gobbledygook about "EOLALPHABETICARABIC"" I seem to recall other reports of this and recreating Normal.dotm resolved the issue. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

I think you may be right about the EOLALPHABETICARABIC and re-creating
normal.dotm. However since the project works fine on the local drive and not on a network drive, I have to suspect Word.

Word 2007 Templates on network drive
Did you check Project/References as I suggested?
I suspect each template's AutoNew macro is calling a shared procedure for saving the document which is located in another template. If each template's AutoNew macro performs the same initial actions then more than likely this is the case. Since the macro is in another template, one way to share it is to create a reference to the template. IOW, there is a link established between the templates. So...if you have a reference pointing to a template on your local drive and if that template is moved to another drive, such as your network drive, then the "file will not be found" and Word will be unable to "open the macro storage" to run the macro. Of course everything will work fine if the templates are on your local drive and back in their original location - that's where they are currently expected to be located. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Carol Chisholm" wrote in message ...
