Need info about pathnames in Windows 2003

[Jim Conant]

Do not know much about programming in Visual Basic. Have had success in
setting up pathnames in an older window Word program activated by a button.
Company updated to Windows 2003 and now my macros will not follow the
pathname ... Any thoughts? Is there a new method to call the pathname?

Not a f*cking idea. Some unknown version of word (and if it's using =
visual basic for application it can only be a max of 8 years old) =
running unknown code doern't work. Tough luck.

Sorry about the bad request. I'm really not a PC person so I do not know
much about Word versions. The company I work for always has the latest
version of Word. What I am experiencing is that I wrote all my macros in
the last version before Word 2003. Last October our software was updated to
Word 2003 and the macros began to give me some problems. Currently I use
Netscape to access word files on a sever in another state. Netscape was 4.2
and now is updated to 7.2 in November.

My goal is to migrate to Explorer ... When I click on the url in Explorer I
am opening a word file. Once there I click on a button in the word file and
that has a macro in it but it will not use the pathname. My thought is that
the code syntax may have changed in word 2003 to open a word file. I'm
looking for an example of what it takes to open Word 2003 files with the
correct syntax.

Give examples. It hasn't changed. It is probably a bug by you that =
worked before. Else security changes have blocked it. Got to see the =
code.
