I have a very large and complicated macro that I created using Microsoft Word in Office XP. This involved a form that showed up that had several controls on it. It worked fine, and I saved it as a .dot file and placed the .dot file in the startup folder for word on several computers. Worked great on all of them.
I recently got a new computer with Office 2003. I THINK I made some code changes to the macro and everything was still fine. But today I made some extensive changes to the form. Everything works fine on my computer. But when I save the file and try to put it on another computer with Office 2003 it still shows up but the new controls I added to the form (a frame with some controls in it that is visible and some invisible list / text boxes that become visible when the controls in the new frame are clicked) are not there. Or at least the new frame isn't there so I can't get to any of the other new controls. I know it is the new design of the form because I had to move some of the existing controls around to fit the new ones in, and when I brong the form up the controls are in the new place. But the frame just isn't there (or isn't visible). I have checked, the visible property is set to true, and as I said it works perfectly on my computer (to test it on my computer I put it in the startup folder and open another document, and the macro is there and working).
I also cannot edit the file on another computer - I can open the .dot file, but when I go into the VB editor it says I can't access the project. I have it password protected on my computer, but it never even asks for the password - just says I can't access it.
Any ideas?
