Word 2003 SearchDocumentsAndShow

pennyg

According to the macro developers guide SearchDocumentsAndShow from iManVBALib should return the Worksite File Open dialog with the results. For me its returning the File Open dialog but defaults to the checked-out documents list and not the search results. I have enhanced dialogs enabled. Any suggestions on returning the correct screen.

This is a bug. There is a subroutine, SearchDocuments, that queries for the searchparameters that the end-user has entered into the search form. The code inside this subroutine needs to be updated for 8.x to use a different contextitem, like so:

Change the line of code indicated below:

'Return search params
If Not IsMissing(objSearchParams) Then
Set objSearchParams = objContext.Item("SearchParameters") '--> old contextitem!
End If

'Return search params
If Not IsMissing(objSearchParams) Then
Set objSearchParams = objContext.Item("IManSearchParameters") '--> new contextitem!
End If

Re-compile your code and it should work.
