WLL No longer Functions in Word 2003

[Steve]

I have an Word Addin written in C++ that has been in use
for a few years, and has worked fine until I tried Word
2003.

This WLL uses the CAPI Messaging Interface to communicate
with Word. Is the CMI going to be supported in Word 2003?
I have traced through the code and found that when the WLL
registers its functions with word that the error occurs.

This is the Error:

errCAPIExpectedNumericType 5020 // parameter passed
was not a short long or num

Again the call to this function is working fine Word 2002.

Could anyone provide me some information or other avenues
to explore. I would like to continue using this WLL with
Word 2003.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,

There's apparently a bug in the Beta 2 builds that doesn't
allow WLL files to work. From what I understand, the bug
has been fixed for the final release.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if there is a
website I could go to that lists the problems, if there
is one, what is the URL?

I don't know of any... I acquired the information during
the beta program, in a discussion with someone from beta
support.
