> I'm still not sure if I understood you correctly. Here are the steps to recreate this situation. Let me know if something isn't clear.
1: open some other OO doc 2: open my binder covers template OO doc 3: the macro that runs on the open event (PromptForValues) brings up a dialog. 4: enter values in the dialog and click 'OK' 5: nothing happens 6: try rerunning PromptForValues. nothing happens after the dialog closes 6: open the macro editor 7: run PromptForValues again, enter values in the dialog 8: after the dialog closes, Texts will be updated with the values you entered 9: close all OO docs 10: open my binder covers template OO doc 11: the macro that runs on open (PromptForValues) brings up a dialog 12: enter values in the dialog and click 'OK' 13: after the dialog closes, Texts will be updated with the values you entered Summary: Macros don't run when a 2nd OO file is open unless the macro editor is open. > Douglas Staas wrote: > > > My questions keep piling up.
