That particular error occurs in WinXP, not Windows 7.
However, EUREKA!
It's been so long since I worked on this report, I had forgotten that I
need to distribute an external .bmp image file to make it work. Once I had
that file in the home directory on WinXP, it worked fine.
However, the problem remains in Windows 7. And in that environment, we
don't ever get to the oDocShapes.AddPicture( [bunch of parms] ) line.
As described in previous emails, the failure occurs on:
documents.Add
or
documents.Add()
or
documents.Add(SomeValidWriteablePath\SomeFile)
whether or not the document has been previously created and closed or left
open. The code that works in WinXP is:
* In Windows 7 this resolves to "C:\Users\kend\Desktop\Test.doc"
cPathFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\kend\Desktop\Test.doc"
nHandle = FCREATE(cPathFile)
oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
WITH oWord
.documents.Add && Works in XP, fails in 7 with "Could not open macro
storage"
.
.
etc.
ENDWITH
As I've described, at that point in Windows 7, Word has created a 1 kb temp
~$Normal.dot file in the same location as Normal.dot, which, in Windows 7,
is C:\Users\kend\My Documents\Office Templates\"--a legally writeable
location. And the Normal.dot template works fine in that location when
using Word manually in Win 7.
So Normal.dot is not corrupt, and I'm writing only to legally writeable
locations in Win 7, and I'm running as an Administrator, and I have
explicitly assigned every possible permission to the Office applications
tree in the Registry. So I don't see how there can be a permissions issue
in Windows 7.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks very much.
