hi Dave,

a browser should not normally need server acces. i use firefox now, but when i used internet explorer it didn’t need server access either. have to admit though that i never used the windows update site (for which you may need server access), and download every patch through the technical security bulletins manually. windows messenger can be completely uninstalled, i notice you do not like it .

hi Alan,

highly probable it’s a piece of malware. try using this free online malware scanservice to find out more
as for avoiding these types of mishaps, using a restricted user account will prevent 99%+ of infections, since they almost all need administrator rights to install properly. (at least for those who have a windows NT flavor OS)

unfortunately, there is no way to pass overridable word commands (FilePrint, FileSaveAs, …) to a com add-in, without using a template. this follows logivally from the fact that a com addin is available to all office applications, but the word command overridability is a specific word solution.

hi Phil,

sub t()
dim x() as string
msgbox len(join(x))=0
end sub

ps. i’m looking for someone to lend my dodge viper to for a few months.

if you only need to execute the same code if the value falls between these ranges, you could do the following

If Range (“Prncode”).Value >=-2 and Range (“Prncode”).Value <=2 then
'do something
end if

hi,

so at one instant you were running three firewalls? that should suffice mind you, i’m also happily running 2 concurrently (icf (windows builtin firewall) and zonealarm).

for udp port 1900 you need to look into two things (try googling for a few keywords to find out more):
– the Universal Plug and Play service (which is mostly unneeded and therefor can be safely disabled)
– windows messenger (which can be disabled or even completely uninstalled) (note: this is not the messenger service, which comes with its own security problems)

concerning your mail problem, the “relaying denied” notice seems to indicate that you’re trying to send an email trough an email account, using another email account from a different internet service provider, which causes outlook to try and authenticate with the wrong email credentials (username and password). make sure if you have several accounts setup with different isp’s, that when you send an email you use the account for the isp your logged on to. in other words, this is not a firewall problem.

considering the fact that starting from office 2000, userforms can be non-modal, a case can be made for them to have those buttons.
although this possibility has not been built in, it can be achieved using the windows api.

for an example, goto Stephen Bullen’s website and download formfun.zip.

hi Kyle,

you can try and download the word code cleaner
recomplie after that, save and close and relaunch word.
also check you have no missing references.
if you are working with a userform, the activate problem might be a word 2000 specific bug, which i will not abe able to reproduce because i’m using 2002.

if you still experience problems after that, you can send the template to me personally if you want in case it contains confidential information. or trim it down to code that only demonstrates the problem.
