Wow, finally figured it out! :-) I noticed that WinWord kept showing up
multiple times in task manager for every instance that I tried running an
export. This led me to believe that there was a problem with the code
opening WinWord... not being too familiar with VB (enough to be considered
dangerous) everything looked like it should work. I ran a test by creating
an ACCESS form with a cmd button which, when pressed, has OLE for word2k.
When I pressed the button it came up with an error "The message filter
indicated that the application is busy". Being resourceful, I checked out
Microsoft TechNet and found an article which states there is a bug with
WINWORD and the WINWORD plug-in for Norton Anti-Virus2k. The fix for it is
as follows:

1. From the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type the following command (including quotes) on the Run line (change
the path to the file as needed):

regsvr32 /U "C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll"

Note that you receive a dialog box stating that the command succeeded.
In some cases, you may need to rename the oleaut32.dll and reinstall Office
2000. To rename oleaut32.dll, it is usually necessary to boot into MS-DOS
mode because more than likely the Operating System has the file locked.

Trust me folks - I work daily with non-MS products. I'll happily trash them when it's appropriate (want to hear rants on Office XP, or Sharepoint?...). My own installation of Remedy is on Solaris, for a variety of reasons. But when MS haven't actually done anything wrong, gratuitous attacks, presumably because it's "cool" to be anti-Microsoft, seem to be immature and pointless. It isn't beyond presumption that their are MS employees on the list, who probably don't go a whole bundle on the comments, either -- and could potentially be seen as a violation of list charter as regards behaviour.

I also know people who work there, and like many shops, they have a date at which the product will go out if it works reasonably well, and whatever's still broken they'll fix later. That's gotten better since they don't have as much competition for market share, but it still reflects a market-driven strategy vs. a quality-driven one.

Now, this is off-Remedy topic, so I hope this discussion ends here. If you'd like to continue it, please contact me privately.

Again, the third-party developer, in this case Norton, had an application which conflicted with Word. Microsoft identified and resolved the problem, and published the fix. I don't see why this earned a MS bashing?

Trust me folks - I work daily with non-MS products. I'll happily trash them when it's appropriate (want to hear rants on Office XP, or Sharepoint?...). My own installation of Remedy is on Solaris, for a variety of reasons. But when MS haven't actually done anything wrong, gratuitous attacks, presumably because it's "cool" to be anti-Microsoft, seem to be immature and pointless. It isn't beyond presumption that their are MS employees on the list, who probably don't go a whole bundle on the comments, either -- and could potentially be seen as a violation of list charter as regards behaviour.

Regards,

Gary

Hey, just remember that at Microsquash, Quality is Job 1.1. Get it out is more important than get it right. So sad...

So, Norton write an app that interacts badly with Microsoft Word; _another_
third-party developer writes an application that suffers because of this -
heaven forbid they should have tested their application; Microsoft publish a
clearly documented fix for the problem, and yet you feel the need to post
immature garbage of the form "MicroSHAFT strikes yet again, you gotta love
those uys....NOT!".

What more do you want?!

Wow, finally figured it out! :-) I noticed that WinWord kept showing up
multiple times in task manager for every instance that I tried running an
export. This led me to believe that there was a problem with the code
opening WinWord... not being too familiar with VB (enough to be considered
dangerous) everything looked like it should work. I ran a test by creating
an ACCESS form with a cmd button which, when pressed, has OLE for word2k.
When I pressed the button it came up with an error "The message filter
indicated that the application is busy". Being resourceful, I checked out
Microsoft TechNet and found an article which states there is a bug with
WINWORD and the WINWORD plug-in for Norton Anti-Virus2k. The fix for it is
as follows:

1. From the Start menu, click Run.
2. Type the following command (including quotes) on the Run line (change
the path to the file as needed):

regsvr32 /U "C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll"

Note that you receive a dialog box stating that the command succeeded.
In some cases, you may need to rename the oleaut32.dll and reinstall Office
2000. To rename oleaut32.dll, it is usually necessary to boot into MS-DOS
mode because more than likely the Operating System has the file locked.

MicroSHAFT strikes yet again, you gotta love those guys....NOT !

Sorry I got it off GeoCities early !! I am setting up my site to pass files, I should ask Mark Blankenship if he can host on his site?
It is really a great little app and seems like everyone has Word on their system although I have not tested it with '97.

I have a copy of 0.6.0 and it is 2.8+ Mb in size (zip file), how can I help?

Hi,

Did Ashraf ever find another website to host his applications?? I've only got his geocities.com website, and can't download the full EzWord app (drops out at about 95k).... Gidd, where did you get a copy?? I wouldn't mind testing this myself :)

Thanks,
Gareth
