Sorry...the first thing I did was turn the Norton Office addin OFF. VBA is
"code" not script...so I doubt there's a problem. I know there are macro
anti virus programs that rip it out when sysadmins go nuts...cos' one tried
to do it to me until I explained to the genius that it was my JOB TO SEND
VBA code in documents to clients!!<sigh>

Script can run in emails...but VBA needs a host application. True, Outlook
could do it if they wrote to the Outlook object...but I know it has some
restrictions??? Greg would know more about Outlooks object model. But I've
never had problems sending VBA code...except that once.

Hey Echo...speaking of Norton....I know the latest version of Norton, by
default, blocks ALL vb scripts....do you know by any chance if it also
blocks vba scripts?

Dian, Greg, Vic, Hal, or anyone else who might know this...feel free to
jump in here also if you have any documentation on this.  I don't use
Norton so I don't know...but I think Vic told me that there was some
documentation somewhere about this and I would like to have it as a
resource for questions on this list if they come up.

Yes, certain versions of Acrobat and Norton AntiVirus have been
implicated
in various Office program shutdown errors.
