Message: [QUOTE="talea, post: 5125934"] The tmpdde macro does not appear to be functioning correctly on my pc. I am running Office XP on Win2k. When I right click a Word document attached to an Outlook e-mail to print it, it prints fine the first time. The second time that I try to print an attachment, Word hangs. I have tried deleting the tmpdde macro from normal.dot. I have renamed normal.dot. Neither of these options have solved the problem. As I say, it works fine the first time round. I have stepped through the macro code in VBA editor. When I do this, it runs correctly ie document is opened in Word, printed, document is closed, tmpdde is deleted and Word is closed. However, when Word hangs, if I go to the VBA editor, the code in the macro is still running and I can't stop it. The document can't be closed, the only thing that I can do is exit Word. It seems to be in some kind of a loop although from the content of the code I can't see what kind of a loop it would be in. I know that deleting tmpdde from normal.dot is Microsoft's solution but as I say this only works once and then the tmpdde problem returns. As Word crashes the second time that you try to print an attachment, you then get the "ambiguous name detected" as the tmpdde module is still in normal.dot Any ideas as to what else I can try?
