MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2006Word 2003 security preventing WLL from loading
We use a WLL (FolderInfo.wll) which resides in T:\Startup and Word is configured with this folder as it's start-up folder. There is also another WLL in there for Reference Manager. FolderInfo.wll perfectly on Word 2000, i.e. the WLL is executed when Word opens and adds itself to the Tools menu. However, it doesn't work on Word 2003. Reference Manager loads okay but whilst the FolderInfo.wll is listed in Tools, Templates and Addins, it's unchecked. Attempting to check the box causes the prompt "T:\Startup\Folderinfo.wll contains macros". Clicking the Enable Macros button has no effect. Re-open the addins dialog and the box is still unchecked. BTW - I wrote FolderInfo.wll so have access to the source code. It's written in Visual C++ v6. I know it's not digitally signed. Could that be the problem? Thanks, Rob. Hi Rob, I have no experience with WLLs, but what happens if you put it in your Word Templates folder, instead of "T:\StartUp"? Things there are usually "trusted" automatically.

A WLL acts as an Add-in. It won't do any good in the Templates folder... Cindy Meister Hi Rob, See the information in these two articles http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302632/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285514/ I'm not sure if a digital signature will help with a WLL, you'd have to try it. > We use a WLL (FolderInfo.wll) which resides in T:\Startup and Word is > configured with this folder as it's start-up folder.
