Compile error in hidden module WfaxMacro thorny old problem

[Bletmoker]

I think this has been submitted many times before but I can't seem to find the reference from a keyword search.
Anyone know how to rid Word 2000 of the hidden module error on WfaxMacro when starting WORD.

I had read that disabling the virus scan should work but it doesn't. I have tried re running the wfax macro.exe but that doesn't get rid of the error message.

Is this something the registry has got a hold of?

Check the startup folder for Word.
Find out where it is by Tools-Options, File locations tab...

Thanks for that. Nothing changed yet. The Startup Folder for Word contains the one file called
wfword2k.dot
Clicking on its properties tells me it's a MultiVISION Word 2000/WOrdXP Macro for WinFax

I don't think I use WinFax unless that is what XP has as its onboard built in Fax which is enabled and working.

What should I do with the file? Delete it? or Rename it?
Or leave it alone?
I only understand macros from the level of being able to make them perform an action in a document and I have made it do a letterhead basic thing. I have never got my head around using them for database and spreadsheet manipulation.

I'd be glad of some directions to remove the macro error message anyhow. Thanks

OK panic over - I deleted it to the recycle bin and checked what would happen. Fault cured. .
I didn't know about FILE LOCATIONS tab in Options, never spotted it before. So your response was very useful.
Thanks very much.
