Hi everyone,
I am automating MS Word 97 SR-2 from VFP 6. Everything is working fine
except for two things I need to do and cannot figure it out how:
1. How to determine if a document contains a macro.
2. How do I stop macros from running when I open the doc.
I have been at the MS site going through the Office developer documentation
and cannot find anything on this.
The problem is I need to scan these documents and determine what types of
objects are in them (hyperlinks, images, macros, document version etc...).
If I try to open the doc using Word it informs me the document contains
macros and lets me determine if I want to run them or not. But if I open it
using automation then the macro runs with no warning. Since I have no idea
who is sending these documents I would prefer not to run the macros. I
tried setting oWord.DisplayAlerts = -1 (Show all alerts) but that ddoes
nothing for macros. Any ideas?
Thanks
Tom
