[Bug 11415] New: Word 2000 VBA editor and macros errors

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11415

Summary: Word 2000 VBA editor and macros errors
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

alert resulting from Tools-->Macro-->Macros-->VBA Editor

In Word 2000,

Tools-->Macro-->Visual Basic Editor causes a "Could not open macro storage"
alert to appear. Clicking OK on that alert causes the same alert to appear
again. Clicking OK a second time gets the alert to stay gone and the VBA editor
to open, but with no programming pane. Closing the VBA editor and then
reopening it, without shutting down Word in between, reopens the VBA editor
without any alert appearing.

Tools-->Macro-->Macros gives the expected macro box, but clicking "Create"
results in a "The project item name is not valid" alert. Clicking the
"Organizer" button does bring up the Organizer Box, but with no macros listed.

--- Comment #3 from Ron   2008-06-09 13:06:50 ---
May I confirm that I experience this?  Using Debian Etch, with Wine 1.0rc2 (a
Debian build here: http://people.debian.org/~ovek/wine/README ), Winword in
Office 97 reports 'no macro storage', twice, then the VBA editor flashes onto
screen briefly but disappears.  [Using standard config (all builtin dlls), and
set to Windows 98.]

This is my first report, apologies if this is not still an open issue, I cannot
run a later Wine version to check it still occurs in rc3 and rc4, and I haven't
found any other report of the issue.

As for severity, from the user point of view, most of our use depends on VBA
extensions to Word and Excel.  It's severe for us (preventing use), but not
sure if that's what the severity rating is meant to record.

regards, Ron

Console output from opening Word 2003 Visual Basic Editor

I can confirm that this bug also affects Word 2003, tested on 1.0, openSUSE
10.3. The error message from Word matches the screenshots that have already
been uploaded. I'm attaching my console output from opening Word and selecting
the Visual Basic Editor from the tools menu.

Console output trying to record a macro in Word 2003

Word 2003 also generates an error message when trying to record a macro. I'm
putting it here because I believe it's the same bug (the console output is
nearly identical). Let me know if I need to open a separate bug for it.

I can confirm this bug is still present in 1.0b3. Since it is also confirmed in
1.1.4 it is almost certainly not fixed in 1.0

I did some analysis and it looks like some interop between the Word process and
the VBA process simply isn't working. By the looks of things ConnectToNamedPipe
is failing when it shouldn't be but I'm not quite so sure.

Using a native oleaut32.dll allows me to create and edit macros with no errors,
so I'd assume this is an ole bug.

Simply creating an empty stdole2.tlb in Wine's system32 directory solves the
problem for me in Word 2003, Wine 1.1.13, no overrides.

I tried an empty stdole2.tlb with Word 2007, and while it got me past the
initial error message, macros still didn't work properly. Copying a real
stdole2.tlb from XP and setting an override for oleaut32 (also from XP) allowed
me to record, edit, and run macros so long as I kept the document open, but
there were file save errors when closing the document, and errors in saving the
normal template  when closing Word. I think that's a separate bug--I'll open a
bug report for that once I get the chance to do a little more testing.

I don't have Word 2000, so I can't test that version.

--- Comment #21 from Ron   2009-01-19 12:28:57 ---
Neither recent suggestions worked for me running Office97, Wine 1.1.9 from
Fedora repository, FedoraCore8 (Linpus), Acer AspireOne netbook.

Blank stdole2.tlb in system32 folder had no effect.  (filename in lower case -
does it matter?)

Real oleaut32.dll, from W98se, in system, and in system32 folders, had no
effect.  Noted that oleaut32.dll in Wine 1.1.9 is approx 5kB, whereas W98se
version seems to be around 600kB.

Note - did not change 'overrides', assuming that placement of the files was
sufficient.  But was that correct to do?  Happy to test again, if mistaken
here.

Symptoms remain:

Word97, opening VBA editor - 'cannot open macro storage' (twice, then VBA
editor flashes on and immediately closes.

Excel97, opening an xls containing a macro - 'Not enough memory' VBA error
Excel97, opening VBA editor, VBA editor flashes on then immediately closes.

Powerpoint97, opening VBA editor - 'an error occurred which powerpoint cannot
manage, please close all documents'.

These are the same symptoms I had when running an earlier release (1.0 rc2?)on
Debian Etch.

This was fixed for Word 2003 in 1.1.14, and is fixed for Word 2007 in 1.1.21
(may have been earlier; I haven't tested in awhile).

It is not fixed for Word 97; winetricks dcom98 is the workaround.

Can someone test this in Word 2000 in current Wine?

Note that this bug is for Word only; there is a separate bug (#15282) for Excel
macros.

I did the retest based on Commnet #0 under wine-1.1.35-364-g9dc584d and did not
find any problem, i.e. FIXED also for Word2000.

It's not fixed for Word 97. Native oleaut32.dll (copied from XP) is still
needed. Should I open a separate bug for this?
