Variable no longer retaining value when using Word 2003
I'm having a problem with a Macro that is a Word Template. Under Office 2000 this macro works when users started getting Word 2003 things started to break. Here is what is happening.
The main Word Template essentially contains a menu which branches off to several other templates depending on which menu option you choose. Here is some sample code.
Public Const c_TemplateDir = "P:\MSOffice\Templates\"
Public g_MacroName as String
Sub Amendment()
g_MacroName = "Amend"
Documents.Add Template:= _
c_TemplateDir + "Amendment.dot", NewTemplate:=False
End Sub
Sub TDAmendment()
g_MacroName = "TDAmend"
Documents.Add Template:= _
c_TemplateDir + "Amendment.dot", NewTemplate:=False
End Sub
Sub RGAmendment()
g_MacroName = "RGAmend"
Documents.Add Template:= _
c_TemplateDir + "Amendment.dot", NewTemplate:=False
End Sub
When the theAmendment.dot template is created it also runs some code some below:
If g_MacroName = "Amend" Then
c_ThisMacroTemplate = "Amendment.doc"
ElseIf g_MacroName = "TDAmend" Then
c_ThisMacroTemplate = "TDAmendment.doc"
ElseIf g_MacroName = "RGAmend" Then
c_ThisMacroTemplate = "RGAmendment.doc"
End If
The problem i'm having is that g_MacroName is always an Empty string when it gets to this code, thus code following this piece does not work correctly. g_MacroName is only an Empty string when using Word 2003 but in Word 2000 it works fine. Anybody can tell me why this is and if there is a work around? Any other Suggestions?
