vba, IE, word, host application

[eclips]

Hello,
If I open a word or excel document with a hyperlink the autoopen macrocode
generates an error: method failed because the document is open in internet
explorer instead of word (excel).
Can I trap the code with a nice message like: "uncheck the checkbox 'open in
same window'" in order to work with macros. I tried everything:
application.name, parent, windows etc but all these give word as result but
I want to see internet explorer as a result in the direct window. Is there a
solution?
A much nicer way seems to me: uncheck the checkbox by vba code but I dont
think that is possible, or yes?
Thanks a lot

No. By default, if you open an Office document using the browser, macros are
disabled. Otherwise it would always be an unacceptable security risk to open
Office documents from the web.

On my system the autoopen macro fires normally with a messagebox "test" in
internet explorer
Thanks for the reaction
