Re: .dot file to add references via AutoExex?
Sorry, I don't get this. If AutoExec runs to set the global variable then it
runs and there is no problem.
Could you elaborate a bit further? I am dealing here with the problem of
having references
to dll files that may have a different versions, so when the reference is
set with the saved .dot
file there will be problems when the dll is different.
In Excel I can deal with this problem by having a loaded .xla that opens
(but not loads, so not
showing as ticked under Tools, Add-ins) another .xla. The first one does the
preparation work
and then opens the main .xla. The main .xla can then add the references via
the Workbook_Open event.
I tried the same approach in Word, but it doesn't seem possible that way.
