MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2004Ooooops - what have I done?
Hi guys, After working on a macro I have started to get the following error when exiting Word: "Word cannot save changes to the global template because it was opened with read access only. Do you want to save the changes in a template with another name?" I dont know what is causing this? Even if I dont run my macro - when I exit word I still get the error message. Now I do have a template in the startup folder which adds a button to the toolbar at word startup, but that has all been working. even if I replace all the templates and startup template with known working old versions from backups I still get the message. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks -Al Further to my last post - if I start word by holding the SHIFT key everything is fine. I guess this confirms it is something to do with my code - but the weird thing is that everything WAS working fine. Dunno how I screwed it up. The only bit that is autoloaded is the template in the startup fodler that adds the btn but I have not changed that code. puzzled. -Al > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > -Al G'day "Al" <bigal_nz@hotmail.com>, Bro, code, autotext, commandbars... templates provide a LOT of things. Any of em changes, its back to the save board yeah? Steve Hudson - Word Heretic Want a hyperlinked index? S/W R&D?

Maybe you had two instances of Word running, and one was blocking write access to the template. If that doesn't help, quit Word and clean out stray temporary files in the startup and the templates folder. Greetings, Klaus |
