We have a device set up to take a file from Baan and bring it into Word using "RTF:Windword.exe" in the Argument field. It works fine. How can I get Word to start a specific macro after it loads the file? Do I add something to the Argument field in the Device?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
for starting a Macro, automatically, as soon as it starts, you dont have to do anything in Baan.
You need to change your macro, which you have written in Word.

What ever function that you want to be executed in Word, as soon as it starts, place it under this standard function in Macro.
Sub Auto_Open()
'put your code, which you want to execute as soon as word starts
End Sub

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply, but we don't want the macro to run every time we run Word. I had someone spend some time trying everything we could think of and finally came up with the solution.

If your macro is named xyz, then your argument in your device is "RTF:winword.exe -mxyz". You have to be using baan client 58 or above for this to work.

thanks for your reply.
This is a new thing - 'activating a specific macro from baan client'.
which I dont know.
Thanks for sharing the info..
