One of the user has this strange problem.

When he tries to open a word document from SharePoint site(MOSS as well
WSS, we have sites on both), the word document doesn't open, instead
visual basic editor opens and it says this:-

Private Sub TmpDDE()

WordBasic.AppShow

Rem_DDE_ReadWriteOnSave

wordbasic.fileopen name :=, revert :-0

end sub

And in the message box it says "Compile Error: Syntax Error"

Interestingly when he clicks "Open in New Window", it works fine.

We have sites on other platforms also(non Microsoft) and he able to open
the document from their just fine.


Can some one please suggest whats wrong here, I spent hours on google
but ding get any solution.
