Open event being intercepted by IE7 despite browserflag setting

[LJ]

Applications involved: Word 2003, Windows XP, IE7, GroupWise 7.0 (no
integration)

When we send a link to a Word document via e-mail, we can click the link and
the document will open in Word. The issue arises when macros exist. With
our Word security set to Medium, we'll be prompted to enable macros but the
Open event won't run. For testing, I'm using a blank document with a single
macro, as follows:

Private Sub Document_Open()
Dim msg
msg = MsgBox("test", vbOKOnly)
End Sub

With no applications but GroupWise open, we click the link and see that IE7
opens and closes before the document is presented to us in Word. Although
we've enabled macros, the message box does not come up. All other forms of
opening the document work fine.

I've googled every combination of words I can think of over the last two
days but browserflag settings is all I've come with. I can't figure out if
GroupWise or IE7 is causing the problem.

For security reasons, macros are not executed when documents are opened
though IE.

It would be best to provide a link so that users download the document and
open it locally, not through IE.

I thought that's what the browserflag setting was supposed to do. We have
our DOC file types set to NOT "Browse in same window", which is allowing the
document to open in Word, but not without IE opening/closing first in the
background. Am I missing something?
