Word Macro

[Noel]

Hi All

Running Windows 2003 Server and Office 2003. I am using a program which calls Word opens a document and then runs a macro. When the program opens Word, the macro runs fine. If Word is already open, the document is opened but the macro isn't called.

I am logged in as a normal user and this is where I have the problem. When logged in as Administrator it works fine. When using the client login on the console, it works fine. I don't want to give the user Admin rights, but I would be happy to "unlock" the directories or registry entries they need, I just need to know which ones to unlock.

Does anyone know the directories or registry keys I need to give the user full access too ?

Thanks

I suspect that the macro is named AutoExec, which runs automatically only
when Word starts.
Rename to AutoOpen and it will run every time a document attached to the
macro's template is opened, or for all documents if in the Normal template.

Thanks for getting back to me, but the macro isn't an AutoExec or AutoOpen.
The macro name is MacroBeingCalled

Then you need to find out what macro is calling MacroBeCalled.
