Exactly what are you trying to do? Are you trying to save a Word doc as PDF? Distiller has a watch folder option. It will convert any postscript file to PDF that it finds in a folder.

Thanks. They’re pretty good. I’m one of those junkies… Font Junkie, Theme Junkie, PowerPoint Design Template Junkie …

PhotoDraw was part of O2K Premium.

I just went to the Microsoft Site and found this…

I hardly think Visio or Photo Editor are a suitable replacement for PhotoDraw. Do you know of any decent image editing programs? I’m still searching for something relatively easy to learn and does a good job. I think PhotoShop would be overkill for what I need. I need to mainly do web images like banners, buttons, … Oh well, I’m probably drifting off-topic.

Haven’t they discontinued PhotoDraw? It’s not in Office XP.

I cringe when resorting to using SHELL. Since it runs asynchronously, it can get tricky attempting to figure out if whatever you shelled out to do actually worked or not. There’s gotta be a better way than shelling out. Perhaps someone else in this forum has a better idea.

Not unless you upgrade your Visio to the latest and greatest version. Unfortunately somewhere along the way, I’m guessing the file format changed. This is no Visio Viewer that I know of.

Do the users even have the DLL on their PC’s? You might want to think about using the Package And Deployment Wizard that comes with Office Developer. I believe it will install and register the necessary DLL’s you use in your VBA project(s).

Is this Word 2000? The user may need to change his/her macro security from High to Medium. High ignores all macros unless they are digitally signed. Medium prompts with the enable/disable macros dialog. Low is for insane people as it will run any macro.

I’ve used it a little bit, and I’ve attended a presentation/seminar on the topic. A co-worker uses it all the time, and he likes it. Dreamweaver Ultradev is Macromedia’s answer to Visual Interdev. I’ve heard it’s good too.

In a sense, Visual Interdev is just Front Page for web programmers. You use Visual Interdev to develop/write your ASP pages. I remember an instructor for an ASP presentation/seminar say to create your pretty web pages in Front Page then import the site into Visual Interdev to do the ASP scripting. Does that answer your question?

A sheet is an object, so it’s best to use a variable naming convention on your variables. ovariablename would let others who read your macro know it’s an object. If you were to do an integer, ivariablename.

Examples: oNextSheet, iCounter …

See the VB/VBA forum for variable naming conventions.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Isn’t that the way Word is supposed to work?

Is the user opening up the same document? Maybe the document is the problem and not Word.

I’ve also seen problems with user profiles. I’ve had to blow away the profile(Not fun), and the problem with Word goes away.

One other idea. Is the user installing any macros, add-ins, templates? Maybe one of those is the problem.

Good luck.

Office 2000 does a better job of saving it’s documents, workbooks, & presentations as web pages than Office 97. Also, it seems easier to disable Clippy and his pals in Office 2000 than Office 97.

Are you saying that each user has to run a report every hour?

At my place of employment, I have a separate PC that all it does it run jobs. I use WSH & VBScripts and put them in the scheduler. We have scripts that fire up Excel, generate some charts, and E-mail when it’s done. I haven’t done any VBScripts with Access but I’d be willing to bet that it’s possible. You could write the script to E-mail the report or better yet publish the report to a web. I don’t know all the details of your situation, so this is just my

Why is the Windows Scheduler not an option?
