MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2006Automated form doesn't behave when opened as a template
Using Word 2000, I have an automated document (drop-downs and such, powered by VBA code) that opens and runs fine when accessed via the File>Open command. But some of my users copied this document into their template directory (still with a "doc" extension) and are trying to open it from there with the File>New command. It opens, but the drop-downs and checkboxes and such work erratically. It looks like it's not executing some of the macros/code. Any clues why this would be different?

Have you used form fields from the Forms toolbar, or from the Control Box? If the latter, and your code addresses these through the Thisdocument module or using ThisDocument, that could be a reason (because "ThisDocument" would be the originating template, not the document created from it).

I've used form fields from the Forms Toolbar, not from the Control Box (where is the Control Box?). Does the name of the form (.doc vs. .dot) make a difference? Does the location of the form, or the method the user uses to open the form make a difference?

I'm still waiting for a light-bulb to go off <sigh> could you copy/paste a couple of the procedures into a reply that aren't working when the user tries creating a NEW document instead of opening the document directly? Perhaps that will give us a clue... > > > Using Word 2000, I have an automated document (drop-downs and such, powered > > > by VBA code) that opens and runs fine when accessed via the File>Open [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > ThisDocument, that could be a reason (because "ThisDocument" would be the > > originating template, not the document created from it).
