Hello-
We are experiencing a problem with Word 2003 involving word documents that
either contain macros and/or merge documents when we open them from our
software.
Our software just calls word and opens the document and prior to using the
combination of our newest release of our software and Word 2003 we have not
had a problem. Nor do we have a problem with the document UNTIL we save it in
word 2003. If the document was created in office 97 through 2002 the document
initially opens fine, but once we save it in Word 2003, anytime there after
when we open it from our software we get the message 'Do you wish to discard
the changes to <file name of the document being opened> and load the latest
version?.
If we say no, the document loads but reverts to a normal document instead of
a mail merge main document and the autoopen or document_open macros to not
fire.
If we say yes to revert, the standard (2003) security message comes up -
'Opening the document will run the following SQL command:' and it opens
normally and macros behave normally.
I have made sure to remove all personal information from the document,
accepted all changes and turned of change tracking, turned off fast saving,
and stopped storing a random number to improve merge accuracy to no effect.
Our software works fine with these documents in prior versions of word (97,
etc), even after being saved by Word 2003 and we have tried this on Windows
2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server.
Any ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thankx,
