API and Objects in VBA

[Philly44]

Does anyone know if Windows assigns OLE Objects a windows handle? And if so how can I get it that handle? Any help would be really appreciated.

I don't know how much this helps, but it may get you started or someone else can fill in the details.

All windows objects have a handle (hwnd). The trouble is that not all objects have a method that returns a handle unlike the Me.hwnd function.

I would guess though Windows has some API that can return the window's handle but I don't know it.

Hope this helps,

P.s. Why do you need to go so low-level to get the Windows handle. Is there an easier way to do what you want?

The reason I think I need to go so low level is that I need to set a specific option when this document is opened. Because we run under NT every profile would have to be recreated to have this setup as the default. The exact setting I have to change is I need to uncheck the option to ask users if they want to update links. I need to do it automatically but it keeps asking. I have thought maybe of a macro in the on open of this document but because of security reasons they are disabled. Any help or input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
