 Uploading a Template to the Shared Network Drive

Hello,
First I want to say thanks for all the help I've got.  I
couldn't of got my project done, if it wasn't for
everyones help here.  I have one more
problem....hopefully! I created a memo template for
everyone in our organization to use.  When you open the
template a UserForm pops up for users to enter information
(ex: Name:, To:, From: etc...) that will automatically go
into the memo after hitting ok.  I also have bookmarks,
macros, and a graphic that exist in the template.  This
template currently resides on my hard drive.  I went to go
and save it to the Network Shared folder so everyone can
go their and access it.  When I saved it to the network
and opened it, the form, macros and bookmarks no longer
were there.  How can I put the template on the Network
drive so everyone can access it with the form, macros, and
bookmarks still working?  Any Help would be appreciated.
Thank You So Much,
Tanya

Hi Tanya,

First, if this is Word 2000 or above, are you sure macros are
enabled in the other network machines you're testing this on
(Tools-> Macros-> Security)?  If they aren't, that's probably
the obstacle.

If they are, then I suspect that the userform, and the code
that calls it, isn't actually in the memo template but in
your Normal.dot.  Try this:

Open the template directly on your PC (using File-> Open,
not double-clicking it, of course).  Press ALT+F11 to open
the VBE.  Select the template in the Project Explorer at
the upper left.  Expand it.  You should see a MODULES object
and a FORMS object there.  When you look in your modules
you should see an AutoNew macro.  In the FORMS object, when
you expand it, you should see your userform.

If you don't see those things, that's the problem -- the
memo template contains only the document's standard text
and not the macro code or the form.  Post back if this is
true, and we can help you find the form and macro and import
it into the memo template.

The bookmarks are probably still there, but the other machine
you're testing it on probably doesn't have bookmark display
turned on (Tools-> Options-> View, check Bookmarks).

Hope this helps.

Thank You so much.  It was a security problem.  I had to
enable security on other network machines.  Thanks for
your help.
