This is a weird problem that seemed to pop up after users were upgraded to
Office 2003. The template was developed in Excel 2003 and seemed to work fine when users had Office 2k. After users were upgraded, all macros assignments somehow changed to obsolete versions of the template each time a user would open it from either a netshare location I placed the file at or from an email I attached the file to. I changed the template to a regular workbook and updated all macro assignments to the toolbar buttons. Some problem from the .xls. I went to the user's office and loaded in the workbook and the buttons did not work. I checked the macro list and there were double the amount of macros listed. I check ed the Window drop-down and somehow an old copy of the template was also loaded even though I had not opened it. I searched the harddrive and found a few old versions of the template and workbook which I deleted. Then I reassigned the macros to the buttons on the user's machine and it works fine. But when she forwarded it to the next user, they experienced the same thing, the buttons did not work because they were referencing old versions of the workbook. This workbook will be used across the country and I won't be able to go around to reassign the macros on each of the users' machines. When I assigned the macros, I selected "this workbook" to assign the macro to. When this issue started I tried to reassign the macros to "file.name", but that did not work. However, during the 'original' development, I may have forgot to set that parameter and left it on the default 'All Open Workbooks'. Could this be the reason the macros are referencing old versions? Doesn't selecting "New" start a fresh workbook without any references to user workbooks? Thanks for any insight! Jack |
