For a client I have an Acc97 application creating a Word97-document.
In that document a number of BookMarks are "exchanged" with info from
the database.
Also some "replace" actions are executed in the Word-document (like:
"replace 'sir' 'madam' all)
Every now and then after the document is generated it turns out that
part of the beginning of the document is missing - including bookmarks
and static text.
Once a "corrupt" document is generated it will be corrupt again when it
is generated anew - only a logoff/logon sequence will produce a proper
document again.
Unfortunately it happens only at clients pc.
To check where things might go wrong I have collected the
charactercounts (story.characters.count) of the word document during
the "exchange" of the bookmarks both while a "good" and a "wrong"
document was generated - the charactercounts were the same.
So the changing of the bookmarks with info from the database seems not
to be the culprit.
The other thing that worried me was the number of templates that were
loaded at clients pc.
They are left over from "experts" that worked at clients place during
the years.
As the STARTUP folder is at the moment part of the image that is
default loaded at clients pc (large corporation) it not a matter of
simply deleting all the templates from the StartUp folder.
(Even worse - due to restrictions it is "impossible" to FileExplore the
C-drive!)
Long story short - how do I prevent the loading of templates when
creating a new Word-Document from within Acc97?
I know you can use the "/a" switch as command-line switch thus
preventing templates to be loaded when starting Word from the Explorer
but wouldn't know how to do the same with:
set objWord = New Word.Application.
Any ideas?
