Word Blocked Macros
Some additional findings and remarks.
Without having any Word document open, Access opens Word without any problem and the macro is executed correctly.
If I open an empty Word document before calling Word from Access, the macro error appears. After the error, it’s no problem to execute the very same macro form the empty Word document I opened before. For me this confirms that the problem isn’t in my Access coding.
We run everything locally on a PC. No Internet, no network server. Nevertheless Access starts with an error message stating “Execution form server failed”. This is strange because we don’t use any server.
I have added screen captures. I use all software in Dutch, but you’ll see what I mean. I am sure you will agree, that these messages are strange not using any files from Internet nor from any other server or network.
