Windowstate probs 2000 to XP

[alexei]

I don't have much information but any help would be
great. Our program opens an instance of Word without a
blank document, and then opens a specified word form.
Attached to this form we have an AutoOpen macro of:

Application.windowstate = wdWindowStateMinimized

to minimize the word form. Then our program places data
into form fields while the document is minimized. Finally
it is printed out and closed.

The problem: This all works perfectly under Word 2000,
but on Word 2002 (XP) it seems word is taking control and
maximizing itself every time one of the form fields is
updated. I ran a test and was able to determine that the
AutoOpen macro is working, but something else is causing
Word to maximize. Anyone heard of this?

I have a program that uses a merge macro. It too works fin in
Win2kPro/Word2k, and WinXP/Word2k, but it locks up and freezes on merges in
WinXP/WordXp. mayhaps there's something different with their merge
commands?

Of course,it's probably just an option under preferences to "Maximize" on
update. Wouldn't that be our luck? hehe
