Re: Stop template "Save Changes"

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Dan Kelly was telling us:
Dan Kelly nous racontait que :

We have a number of standard templates sat on a Network Share and
pointed at by the Workgroup Templates setting in Word 2000.

All of the templates are marked as Read Only in their file properties.

All the templates can be used by many people.

One template in particular insists on asking you if you want to "Save
Changes to blank.dot" when you save documents created using it. Of
course it then sulks when it finds the document is read-nly.

Any suggestions on how to stop it asking?

That template must have macro(s) whose code changes the template itself.

What is that code?
It may be possible to re-write it to avoid that problem.

If not, right after that code that changes the template, add this line:

ThisDocument.Saved = True

This will tell Word that the code container (ThisDocument = the template
itself) does not need to be saved.
