Word Template Problem - project cannot be displayed-

[gtaborda]

Hi

I am creating a number of .DOT documents with toolbars+macros and installing them on the Word Start Up folder.

Although the documents are viewable from within th VBA project View, somehow I cannot open them and change anything on them.

I get a "Project cannot be displayed" message.

Any ideas how to make the VBA/forms available for viewing/updating etc ???

thanks

With the one exception of Normal.dot, a template (.dot) file must be actually open to view the code.

I am wondering about "a number" of .dot files in Startup. This seems odd to me. Why do you want a number of global templates loading?

ONE I can see. I have one loading automatically via Startup. I do have other globals, but I load them dynamically. That way I can unload them. A global loaded automatically - via Startup - is loaded for the entire Word session.

Any ideas how to make the VBA/forms available for viewing/updating etc ???

Yes. Put a button (or a menu, or keyboard shortcut) in/on the template that will actually open the file. My Startup global has a button on the menubar that opens the global itself. That way I can quickly get at it to make changes.

A global template is loaded, it is NOT opened. It must be open to view/change contents. Otherwise....

"Project cannot be displayed"
