Prevent MS Word saving document from Visual Basic 1

[chindas]

Hi all,

I´d like to prevent a word document being saved from my Visual Basic 6 application.

I´d open the word document using Word 9.0 libraries, using Open method.

Any ideas? Thanks


Dim oWordApp as Word.Application
Set oWordApp = New Word.Application
oWordApp.Documents.Open Filename:="c:\test.doc", Visible:=True

Have you tried this:

oWordApp.Documents.Open Filename:="c:\test.doc",
[b]ReadOnly:=True,[/b] Visible:=True

Well.. it´s a good answer.. but what i´d really like to do it´s to prevent someway user access to a remote dir, where the document is loaded from, i.e. user should not know where the document is saved in.

The only thing the user should know is that pressing Save button, he will save the doc where it was opened by default

I don´t know if that could be possible coding any event or disabling/hiding some menu or buttons in Word..

Thanks guys

You could try trapping the event

Dim WithEvents oWordApp As Word.Application

Private Sub oWordApp_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Word.Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Cancel = True
End Sub
