Re: Version related issue

Pardon me if this seems a bit harsh, but that question is exactly like
asking "His heart was working and then it stopped. What could have
caused that?" There are simply too many possibilities.

Without knowing what the code is supposed to do, how it should do it,
and exactly what the code is, your question is quite impossible to
answer. We also need to know *how* it's failing -- am I correct to
interpret your original post as meaning that the program apparently
runs correctly, but that the document it creates can't be opened?

The reason Charles asked whether you still have the code (that is, the
source code, not the compiled result) is that we'll need to examine it
to see whether it uses some function of Word that changed between
versions. Without that, the best we can do is shrug.

So the problem is that the dll isn't working in Word 2003? Do you still
have the original code?

No, the program was complied on a computer where Word 2000 is installed
and therefore the Word dll is based on Word 2000

Thank you,
Samuel

Word 2003 is more sensitive to document corruption than was Word 2000 -
it senses it when Word 2000 misses it. Just to be sure, file is not on a
floppy disk or other removable media is it?

When you say "program was compiled using Word 2000" you are saying a
mouthful that I don't think you mean. Do you mean that the document was
created / generated by Word 2000?

Hi

I am trying to pen a file generated by Word 2000 with Word 2003 and I
get an error that file may be corrupted etc.
This normally shouldn't happen because the Word can certainly read
previous versions

Additionally, the same program that was able to generate a document is
not able to do that any more (this machine has Word 2003 installed and
the program was compiled using Word 2000)


Any suggestions will be appreciated,
Samuel
