Hi,

Whenever I start Word2000 I get the following message:

"Compile error in hidden module: WinFaxPrintAndMerge"

I'd be quite happy to delete this module but when I go into the VBA editor and highlight the WinFax module it says it's protected.

How can I remove the protected status and delete the module?

Hi Andy,

just remove de dot-file from the Word startup folder. This way the VBA code will not be loaded the next time you start Word. To find out what the startup folder is, goto Extra - Options, click the tab 'filelocations' there you will see the path of the startup folder.

Thanx Una, that works great.
