MSWord com add-in problem

[Tarek Jabri]

Hi i developed a com addin for msword in MFC i have done the registration issues for it ,and i added a menu item for invoking the addin functionality , so it is registered and working properly for a NEW word document. the problem occurs when i OPEN an already saved word document, when i click the menu item the famous error message appears "Microsoft office word has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvience" when i work on a new word document i can attach to the word process and debug, but when i work on an opened word document i can attach but the break points are not active can anyone give me any hint?? thanks alot

one simple golden rule: but iam not sure weather it suits for ur application. if break points are getting disabled, then use some message boxes to localise the problem. just try it. you can even redirect the log to a file and observe it offline.
