Compile error: Can't find project or library

randyj · #1 02-12-2025, 08:07 AM

Need some help please.

This was an a Project from around 2008. Trying to edit to work today. There is an error with Private Sub Document_Open(). This used to work back in the day, has a compatibility issue with newer version.

Thank you!

Sorely in need of upgrade.

The missing reference is (orho.dot). The file attached template is:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\(UserName)\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Templates\ortho.dot

Apparently at some point you have renamed, moved or deleted the attached template.

How can I DELETE the reference?

With the vb editor. Tools>References and uncheck Ortho.dot

Removed Ortho.dot file -> Compile error in hidden module: InsertPic.

If I ignore the error and I click on all variables, THEN the concept works. For some reason, it is not initializing all the defaults.

So close!

Randy,
The document you posted is a dog's breakfast and needs updated. Are you still using Word 2003? There are merge fields in that document. Are you using a mail merge in your process?

If you want to contact me, use the links on my website. I can help you bring this document out of the stone age.
