My organisation is upgrading Office 97 to XP.
We have a word template which is loaded at start up and creates a ToolBar. If the users selecting an icon on this ToolBar, it runs a procedure from the template the loads a form (frmMenu.Show) which is a menu system for correspondence letters with the top letter highlighted. If a user selects a correspondence letter to open, the form is hidden (me.hide) and the correspondence letter is created. If the user selects the toolbar icon again, the hidden menu form is made visible with the last selected correspondence letter highlighted. Essentially the form should never be unloaded until you close Word.
A problem occurs due the WD2002 having a new Option "Windows in Taskbar" which if enabled displays each document in it's own Window in the taskbar. If a user selects two or three correspondence letters and then closes all of them (but does not close Word) then the form is unloaded. Therefore if the user selects the toolbar icon, the form will reload because it is not loaded
If I turn off the Option "Windows in Taskbar" the form is only unloaded when you close Word.
It seems is if the user's are closing the owner of the form.
Any help will be appreciated.
