AutoExec sub and Internet Explorer
Hi,
I need to trap any save event in a Word document. I created a class and registered that class from within one of my VBAMacros.dot file stored in my startup directory as describe in the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/off2000/html/wohowApplicationEvents.asp
Autoexec fires fine if I use the plain Word desktop but if it's fired from within a IE window, the Autoexec sub doesn't get fire and my class is not attached.
This could be a security issue but I would like someone's second opinion.
If this is a security issues, do you have any alternatives for the save event?
Thanks,
Boomer

Have you tried the techniques listed at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/AppClassEvents.htm ?

This is exactly what I'm doing but if a document is open from within Internet Explorer, the AutoExec sub doesn't get fired. And since the Autoexec is not fired, my oApp_DocumentBeforeSave is not registered and not fired on save.
Something must be fired (like a dll) because our document management software intercept the save event from normal Word and Word within IE.

How does the document management software work? Add-in? Something else?

Well,
I finally figured this one out.
I've created a .dll that get's attached to word when word is initialized. By putting the With_Events statement in the .dll, every even from word would run throughout my .dll.
The problem with the VBA code was, as I've mentioned before that the Autoexec sub was getting executed if word was initialized from within an Internet Explorer window.
The .dll does fire the AddinInstance_OnConnection
