Limitation of size or number of procedures in dot-file ?

[Hubert Ackermann]

Hi NG

I'm using XP/Word 2003 and working on a project, in which a dot-file
is growing up to 3.6 mb now. After inspection of former subs, it
seems, that some changes are not made.
My question is, is there a limitation in size or numbers of procedures
in a dot-file ?

best greets

I would worry about a file that is mostly code and has gotten above 1Mb.
Take a look at this article

Hi Hubert,

My question is, is there a limitation in size
or numbers of procedures in a dot-file ?

in theory, I'd say for the size it is 32 MB.
But that is not your problem.

IMHO, there is an unknown border of complexity
for a Word document and for templates.
But that is theory, too.

I'd try to export the code.
Setup a new, clean dot
and import the code.

Hi Helmut

Thanks for your fast advice. I will try this tomorrow doing it
programmatically.
