Macro Storage

[Greg Maxe]

Friday, the IT folks at my work moved my hard drive to a
new laptop. Today each time I try to open a Word document
I get Runtime Error '5981' Could Not Open Macro Storage.

The error is being generated on the following line in my
AutoOpen macro:
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges

I disable the autoopen macro and now the same error will
generate when I try to run any macor with the
ActiveDocument object.

Can anyone explain how I can fix this. Thank you.

Hi, Greg,

You get this error when VBA isn't properly registered.

First try running this command from the Start > Run box:
winword.exe /r
That causes Word to re-register itself, and that may include registering VBA
(not sure on that).

If the problem persists, you may need to reinstall. :-(

Christian/Jay,

Thank you both for replying. I solved the problem by
renaming normal.dot to normalold.dot and recreating the
normal.dot and then moved my macros over to the new
template with the organizer.

Christain I think you were on to something as the IT
people also loaded the software for a new Blackberry
device and removed the PALM software. There was a
reference to the PALM.dot template in the old project.

All is well now except I need to take a few minutes and
cusotmize my standard toolbar.

Thanks again.
