Problems with macros after upgrade to 2003
My office uses multiple templates containing macros written in Word/Office
2000. Our IT department upgraded some users to Office 2003, and none of the template macros are working. The first step of each macro is to merge the template to a new document; on execution, the user gets an error message and the system jumps to the first line of the macro code. Am I likely looking at something that changed in VB between 2000 and 2003, or should I focus somewhere else? |

Hi Carol
As a basic first step, I would make sure that the users with Office 2003 have the same permissions to the same server locations as they did before the change. And consider whether the locations at Tools Options File Locations have any bearing on the issue. (For example, maybe all other users' Startup folder points to a server location where an add-in loads, on which the macros are dependent. Unless the file location was set correctly when the users were upgraded, the add-in won't load, and the macros that depend on it will fail.) You will then have to use the Visual Basic Editor to step through each line of the macro to find out where, exactly, in the code the problem occurs. If you have specific VBA questions, you might like to post them in one of the Microsoft Word VBA newsgroups, such as microsoft.word.vba.general. In your post, identify which lines of your code are failing, and what steps you have taken to determine the cause of the problem. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
