MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2004project unviewable
I have written a document system that I've been using for several years, without any problem. The macros and forms are stored in Normal.dot. As it becoming quite big and I wanted to add more functins to it, I had the idea to move it to another template, keeping the normal.dot smaller and more user specific. I copied the code to another document, saved it as a .dot file and tried to load it as a global template. Suddenly the "project is unviewable" in the VB Editor and no matter what I do, it can't be viewed. If I attach it it works fine but then it stays there for the session only and has to be reloaded everytime I restart Word. Why is the project locked? Hi mats, When you want to edit the code, you need to open the template in an editing window.

If I open VBE (the VB Editor) both templates are there (Normal.dot and my new DocMacros.dot). Normal works as it should but when I push the + mark on DocMacros, I'm getting the darn reply, Project Locked - Project is unviewable. Most menuitems are unavailable and the ones that I can use give me the same reply. As it seems to me you can only have one .dot file as a global template and viewable/editable at a time. Normal.dot has priority thus locking the others?! Naeh! Seems stupid!

Navigate to your new template in Windows Explorer, Right-click on it. Left-click on "Open". Alt-F11. You should now be able to edit your macros. > Hi Jonathan and thanks for quick reply but....I don't get it! > If I open VBE (the VB Editor) both templates are there (Normal.dot and my [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > and has to be reloaded everytime I restart Word. > > > Why is the project locked? |
