Linking in Word 95, Opening with Word 97

Post by Casey Schmi » Wed, 07 Apr 1999 04:00:00



Greetings all,

    We have implemented a document container in our application.  Everything
seems to work fine, until someone links to a Word95 doc.  When a user in
Word97 tries to "Activate" this document, it says "Linked object's source
class has changed."  This is the only time this happens.  If the document is
embedded there are no problems.

    What am I missing?  Some applications handle this correctly(Word,
Visio), but ours and a test app(MFC App wizard with container support)
don't.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Casey Schmit
