Paul,

The wdTmp.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone had no effect, so i commented out the session code and it ran fine. The only hitch is that the focus shifts to the Word document when the copy routine ends. But that happens only on the laptop. It runs perfectly on the desktop. Laptop has Office 2007; desktop 2010 (same Windows app and version, I think).

I would rather have the focus shift than the WinCalendar message, so I don't think there's any reason to mess with it any further. If you're feeling adventurous, you can always try downloading WinCalendar (www.wincalendar.com/download.html) and see if you can duplicate the message.
