From the Do as I say not as do department or maybe … a we don't need no stinking managed code around here

MS's Sharepoint inserts a temporary macro using WordBasic syntax via DDE (WordBasic has been obsolete for about 7 years and DDE even longer than that) in order to implement the edit in MS Word option. (I was able to stop execution and found this inserted into my Normal.DOT)

Code:
Private Sub TmpDDE()
WordBasic.AppShow
WordBasic.FileOpen Name:="[URL unfurl="true"]http://nfaprodportal01/InformationSystems/ChangeManagment/BASICDE_.Net_Dave_Bug_Fixes_08-26-2004.doc",[/URL] Revert:=0
End Sub


Can someone please explain to me WHY this is? Thanks

regards,
Brian
The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
