Howdy,
I have an issue on a client machine that seems to be interferring with a word addin that ive built.
When any word document opens on the client machine, a second blank document opens also.
Ive seen this issue on a number of different machines but havent seen an explanation as to why.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour in word and have you managed to stop the second document opening?
Cheers
If this issue is happening regardless of whether or not your addin is installed, perhaps the user has a strange macro running in their default template file (normal.dot)?
You could try replacing normal.dot with a version from a machine which doesn't have the problem to see if that helps!?
If you are delivering your addin as a .dot, it is very easy to accidentally set it up to have a document in it that opens. This, of course, assumes that the problem follows the addin. If it does not follow the addin then you don't have a programming problem.
I have the same issue, only it's with Word and Excel. Whenever I double-click a document to open it, a second blank document opens as well. I recently migrated all of my files from and old XP machine to a new Windows 7 machine, although I don't see how that could make a difference. Also, it doesn't happen every time - only most of the time. It's quite annoying so it'd be great to find a solution.
