macro problem
hi;
I have a form with a macro as I have 25 selection list on it. And the selection list for all the fields are associated with the country field that the user selects. It is running successfully in my laptop. However, when I send it to my client, the macro is no longer available.Can anyone guide me to on how to make the macro runs automatically once the client open the form?FYI, this form will be distibuted to lots of users, thus all of them are not located within the same network. I found that the exit macro is no longer available when I send the form to my client. Appreciate if anyone could help urgently. Thanks a lot! |

macro problem
If you send a document (a normal document or a template) to someone else,
macros will not be available to the receiver unless they are stored directly in that document or in a global add-in that is also available to the receiver. My guess is that you stored the macro in your Normal.dot and not in the document in question. Note however, that even if you copy the macro to the document, the individual users' macro security settings may prevent the macro from running.

macro problem
If the macro is in a template, and the form that you're sending to others is
a document based on the template, that's the problem. When you base a document on a template, any macros remain only in the template and are not copied into the document. Sending the document without the template then breaks the linkage to the macro. The easiest solution is to send the template itself. Be sure to explain to the recipients that if a macro warning appears on opening the template, they should click the Enable button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. ah wrote: hi; I have a form with a macro as I have 25 selection list on it.
