Error 5981 vbscript

Проблема характерна для старших версий MS Office (2010 и выше).

При создании документов (протоколов или сводных отчетов) возможно возникновение ошибки «5981 — Не удается открыть банк макросов», как показано на рисунке.

Дополнительно данная ошибка может сопровождаться еще одной ошибкой (Error «5460 — Ошибка файла»), которая также возникает при создании новых документов.

Причиной данных ошибок является блокировка шаблонов программы из-за особого режима безопасности MS Word (блокируются файлы, полученные  из Internet, из внешнего источника или из сетевой папки).

Проблема характеризуется последующими сообщениями над документом, который подвергся блокировке, как показано на рисунке.

Можно применить изменения к конкретному шаблону, используя кнопки «Разрешить редактирование» или «Включить содержимое», но лучше это сделать для всех используемых шаблонов, как описано ниже.

Известны 2 случая, которые приводят к блокировкам со стороны MS Word.

1 Случай. Блокируются шаблоны из стандартной папки templates другого ПК и воспринимаются MS Word как файлы из внешнего источника.

В данной ситуации необходимо добавить папку с шаблонами в надежные расположения MS Word через меню «Файл — Параметры», как показано на рисунке.

Путь к папке с шаблонами по умолчанию: C:ProgramDataattest55.1templates

Папка с шаблонами по умолчанию находится в папке с настройками пользователя. Где хранятся настройки пользователя дополнительно можно ознакомиться в следующем МАТЕРИАЛЕ.

2 Случай. Для шаблонов настроена отдельная папка templates.

В этом случае выполняются такие же действия, что и для случая 1, но в надежных расположениях уже необходимо прописать путь, который определен пользователем для хранения шаблонов.

   [RESOLVED] closing files when error 5981 occrs
   

   I have word vb code which navigates a directory structure and opens all word files in read only mode for text string content checking. Occasionally a word document fails to open and reports error code 5981. I wish to close the file and continue the run but activedocument.close and documents(myfilename).close have no effect and all such files remain open and have to be closed manually at end of run. Immediately after opening the active document is shown as <Cannot open macro storage.> in the Documents collection.

   have you tried application.displayalerts = false?

   what version of word /windows?

   i found this from some other forum

   I found the solution. Right click the docx, select properties then UNBLOCK. It would seem that word puts a block on the file if its downloaded from the internet.

   i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
   Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

   dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

   come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

   I assume you have error handling code wrapping your document open routine?

   there is methods by code to unblock documents

   Re: closing files when error 5981 occrs
   

   Thanks for the prompt replies. Yes I do set the error trap. I am using Word 2010. I will try display alerts but as I do not get a display when running under VB I don’t understand why this is a fix — but worth a try. Manually unblocking the document is not an option in the middle of a VB controlled run examining several thousand files and finding a handful fail with error 5981. I think that one solution is to open the files in a separate instance of Word but in a thin client environment with 2003 and 2010 versions of word I have a problem on how to code to always obtain a 2010 instance and how to test this code in a variety of different user environments.

   Re: closing files when error 5981 occrs
   

   i do not know how, by code, to test if the documents are blocked, but it would be possible to unblock all files prior to opening them in word, within the code

   whether the time overhead of doing this would make it unviable i can not say, it may, to some degree at least, depend on the size of the files, if the whole process is being run in background it may not matter at all

   i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.

   Docx — I have recoded to open in a separate instance of word and this has overcome the problem — thanks for you help

   ---

hello everyone.. pls help!!!

i am getting the above error INTERMITTENTLY when i run the 2 macros that i have created.. i know there is a similar article on this posted long back but that doesn’t seem to resolve my problem… i have also gone thru the below link but all the options suggested don’t seem to apply in my case —

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q162/0/53.asp

let me explain why… the 1st macro converts a doc file to pdf (by creating a postscript file first using a print driver and then creating the pdf from the .ps file using acrodist.exe).. the 2nd macro simply converts the doc file to .prn using a print driver… both macros are executed via toolbar icons and are in the same template file (.dot) which is placed in C:mydocs… also the workgroup template (Word -> Tools -> Options -> File Locations) is pointed to C:mydocs so that the macros come up automatically when the doc is fetched from the repository (all docs are stored on a server)… also the output files (.pdf and .prn) go to a diff server.

now the macros run fine but give the above error occasionally.. the options mentioned in the above link are not helping me since —

— when the doc on which the macro error occurs is closed and again re-fetched from the repository, the macro runs fine… also the error does not occur always.. nor on any specific doc.. so normal.dot and vbe.dll should be supposedly fine (or else the error would happen for all)

— n/w permissions are all correct for the same reason above

— RAM is 255MB and HDD space is 20GB.. no other applications are open.

pls let me know if i have missed anything or got something wrong..

pls advise.

thanks in advance.
