AutoExec Conditional (Word VBA)

Topic

New Reply

Greetings.

I have a startup Add-in.

It has an AutoExec function to display a form if a particular setting is true in the registry.

I would like to make this conditional on how Word was loaded. If loaded by double clicking a document in Explorer or a document in the Start Documents list (that is, if Word is loaded WITH a document) I want to abort the AutoExec. If Word is opened normally, I want to check whether or not to display the form.

Any way to grab the command line from VBA?

What’s happening now (in Word 2003) is that loading with a Document does NOT load the document but runs AutoExec and stops.

The command line doesn’t seem to be exposed in the Word object model. You may be able to use code like this:

If Documents.Count = 1 Then
If InStr(ActiveDocument.FullName, “”) = 0 Then
‘ Only blank new document open, so Word wasn’t started by double clicking a doc
End If
End If
