GetObject() crashes when loading a word doc containing an ActiveX control
The problem was caused by the security settings in Word2000. It was set to
high, which means that unsigned macros are automatically disabled. That was
the case when copying one file containing an ActiveX control from another
machine....
In that case, Word crashes without any message.
The security settings should be set to medium (warning messages will be
prompted) or low.
This problem does not appear with Word97 because macros are either enabled
or disabled.
