When existing Word the following dialogue appears:

The file normal exists.Do youwnat to replace the existing
file?

This happens even if you launch Word and close it again
immediately.

I am running Word 2002 with SP3 loaded.

Any ideas?

Try deleting the Normal.dot file in the C:\Documents and
Settings\prashank\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates directory and
restart Word. This should solve your problem.

It turns out that the range values of x and y must be
typed as integers. Mine were typed as long. When the
application ran under the development environment the
environment had no problem with the longs and it ran
fine. When I transferred the app to the production
server it bombed with a "Type mismatch" statement. I do
not know if an overload is failing or if the compiler is
failing or what, but when I change

Dim x,y as long

to

Dim x,y as integer

where x and y are used in a range statement like

ThisDocument.Range(x, y).Text

then the app runs fine. The problem is that if the
number of characters in my report ever exceeds the range
for an integer, I am going to have problems.

Thanks for your consideration.

Do _not_ delete normal.dot! That was bad advice.

If you have Norton AntiVirus, disable the Office Plug-In. If you don't have
it now but did have it, write back.

Huh? I think you posted this in the wrong newsgroup (perhaps a vba
newsgroup?) and definitely in the wrong thread.

You should never tell people who are asking for help with Word just to
delete their Normal template. What if it has customizations, AutoText,
AutoCorrect entries, macros, and so on? They would lose all that. The
correct advice is to rename the existing Normal.dot so that after a new
one is created the old one can be accessed for its customizations via
the Organizer.
