[ravi kumar]

I have created a addin vb6. i declared application variable
Dim with events ohostApp as word.application

and added an event

Private Sub ohostApp_NewDocument(ByVal doc As Document)
'Your code here
MsgBox "New Document"
End Sub

it is working in word 2003 version, but not in word 2000

Ravi,

I'm not a Word specialist but I work a lot with COM Add-ins. Have You set a
reference to the version 9.0 (that is Word 2000) in the Add-in setup? In
order to do that You need access to Word 2000.

Dennis,

Thanks for your reply.

i am able to run addin on word 2000 without Documents Events ( refrence to
the version 11), but the problem occurs when the code contains Documents
Events then the application hangs up. the addin has to be run on word 2000
and 2003. so i gave 11 version refrence. If i use version 9 it would not
work on 2003.

Regards

Ravi kumar

Try doing as Dennis suggests, for testing purposes. As a general rule, you
should always program and compile against the *older* version, then test in
all the versions you plan to target.

The Word 2000 object model was "off" in a number of ways that got fixed in the
following versions. Things can work quite differently, even if the code looks
the same. Also, Word 2000 is very stubborn about not wanting to recognize or
work with references to newer versions.
