MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005Prevent document AutoOpen.MAIN
We are using a commercial requirements managment app which includes the ability to import and export word documents. During an export, this app automatically inserts code into the document AutoOpen.MAIN sub. I want to prevent the exported word docs AutoOpen.MAIN sub from executing and instead execute my own custom code on startup. Is their a method to prempt the document AutoOpen.MAIN sub (and disable it?) programmatically? I copied my custom code into the global template AutoOpen.MAIN hoping it would take precedence over the document AutoOpen.MAIN, but that didn't work. Is it possible to somehow only disable the document AutoOpen.MAIN entirely (ActiveX, registry) ? I asked the vendor of the app but they weren't too helpful. Any suggestions will be extremely appreciated. A macro in a document having the same name will intercept any in a global. You can set your macrosecurity to medium and disable macros in the document as it is opened.

This word document has other macros which are used (hence disabling all macros isn't an option). I merely want to disable and override the behavior of the document AutoOpen.MAIN, not all macros. > A macro in a document having the same name will intercept any in a global. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > extremely > > appreciated. >We are using a commercial requirements managment app which includes the >ability to import and export word documents.
