hi,

i've got a problem with regards to viewing/opening word document from the net.

we have a customised COM dll for controlling all the Word toolbars and firm specific functions at work. at the moment, whenever we try to view an word document from the net, an error message "Could not open macro storage" will be displayed while the document is opened.

Adding breakpoints/message boxes to the dll and disclose the error coming out from the following class_initialize sub:

Dim m_objWordApp As Word.Application
Dim m_objWordDoc As Word.Document


    Set m_objWordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        strMsg = "Microsoft Word is not loaded!" & vbCr & vbCr & _
            "Cannot successfully initialise ActiveX component until this application is present"

        MsgBox strMsg, vbCritical

        Err.Clear

    Else
        'initialise m_objWordDoc to the currently active document
        Set m_objWordDoc = m_objWordApp.ActiveDocument

m_objWordApp.ActiveDocument returns the error.

have anyone experienced anything like this before?

your help will be much appreciated!

cheers,
tigerkit

Hi All,

You might read:

and
http://www.printsoftblink.com/tech/trouble.htm#5981 (you probably did a reinstallation already)

It points in the directions of the automation swamps.
