Outlook open, code to update footer doesn't run.

Hi experts,

need some help here. I am currently using Worksite version 8.2.188. User are using document template to create their documents and in the document it contains macro that will update the footer with document version.

Strangely when Outlook is not open, when user run microsoft word and open document in worksite, the AutoOpen procedure in the template can initiate the IManageExtensibility object and update the footer.

But if outlook is started first and when user double click the dms document in filesite, the AutoOpen procedure will no longer run.

this is the code used:

Public Sub AutoNew()
Dim objIManageExtensibility as iManO2K.iManageExtensibility

Set objIManageExtensibility =
Application.COMAddIns("iManO2K.AddinForWord2000").Object

Set objSinkObject = new SinkObject
ObjSinkObject.SinkIManageExtensibility objIManageExtensibility
End Sub

How do we solve the problem ya?

thank you,
aliank

Hi, there are some posts on Microsoft about this - its a known issue that automacros don't run if Outlook is opened before Word when using Word as the email editor. According to Microsoft this is 'by design' The fix that worked for me is to ensure Word is opened first by putting it in Windows startup.

Hope this helps
