SQL message?
The Task Pane Controller provides an interface to all of the task pane
options. You have a task pane option in Tools/Options and there's a Reg hack that isn't present in the Word interface. And depending on the version of Word you are using it shows the task pane when Word starts. (There's a bug that will cause the task pane to be dismissed too quickly if add-ins are present.) So it does several things, some of which are version specific, and depending on what you want the task pane to do you may not need it at all. :-) I'm still not sure why it triggers the SQL message -- it doesn't run any SQL -- but I need to do some testing and figure out what's happening exactly the next time I have access to Word 2002 and Word 2003. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx " wrote in message ...

SQL message?
Hi Beth,
I have the additional information. Namely, if I well remember (?), the ghostly "SQL event" occurs not only at the MS Word start-up. It occures also just after your TaskPane Controller instalation. I mean after downloading your Add-in, I found the following files related to in My PC: C:\Program Files\Task Pane Controller Files\ TaskPaneController.dot - AND - Setup.doc. Then - I double clicked (unintentionally) on the mentioned above Setup.doc file. In a result, the instalation procedure was repeated and during this time I got "SQL pop-up window" with the strange questions of the type "YES/NO?", etc. Thus, the same event as described in this thread by Jeff occured. The question: Beth has written: "I'm still not sure why it triggers the SQL message -- it doesn't run any SQL -- but I need to do some testing and figure out what's happening exactly the next time I have access to Word 2002 and Word 2003." Well, does it mean that in coming future we will have an opportunity to download a modified version of Task Pane Controller, which will work properly until the next Microsoft "invention" aimed at the possible Office update patch - destroying once again the Beth and Bill's add-in?. N.B. By mistake (i.e. not reading the Jeff's theme first), few days ago I opened new thread entitled: "Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem"; From: Ajakibs (30-05-2008). Thus you can find further information related to the considered theme. And sorry for making some disorder related to repeating the similar subject in different discussion threads.

Hi Beth,
Considering that you have mentioned that you could have some problems with the access to my thread entitled: "Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem"; from: Ajakibs (30-05-2008) - I have sent to your private E-mail address a full copy of it. Below, I am citing one of the most important part of it. Namely, I have written: ...."In present situation I can propose the simplest way of the problem fixing: 1. Using Windows Regedit utility - find the Registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\C ommon\General 2. Go to the value named: "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" and choose the value "1" (i.e. do not dismiss) or "0" (i.e. do dismiss). Remark: Of course, the subkey "10.0" is for Word 2002/XP users, whereas the subkey "11.0" should be considered (in place of "10.0") by the users of Word 2003. ...". Well, my present questions to you is: 1. Is it the only one Registry Hive (as cited above) that should be considered in order to arrange "a manual" fixing of the problem. And what about HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE or (possibly) other Hives?. 2. In my opinion, we should check the setting ("0" or "1") of the mentioned above Windows registry subkey value - everytime - when something is going wrong with the "unhappy" MS Word Task Pane device. Am I right?; i.e. will it to solve the problem completely - up to the next Microsoft Office update?. Best regards, -- Andrzej (Ajakibs) Warsaw, Poland Windows XP (SP-3) Pro, MS Office XP (SP-3) |

Namely, the the registry subkey name should be written as follows: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\ Common\General" Moreover, one has to check additionally the following Windows Registry entry: "HKEY_USERS\S-heksadecimal user ID \Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\General"; and - once again - the subkey value "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" should be set to "1". In the given above Registry path the heksadecimal user ID is a specific user ID determined as a heksadecimal number. Thus, the above means that - for any particular user - the given above subkey should be find using the standard "Registry Editor Edition Find" function (applied to the Hive: HKEY_USERS).

Hello,
I am using MS Word 2003 and have attempted to follow this thread as best as possible. I Have edited my registry to read: HKEY\CURRENT-USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" and chose the value "0" (i.e. do dismiss). Still get the "SQL" event. Reading on I see: "In the given above Registry path the heksadecimal user ID is a specific user ID determined as a heksadecimal number. Thus, the above means that - for any particular user - the given above subkey should be find using the standard "Registry Editor Edition Find" function (applied for the Hive: HKEY_USERS)." What in the world does this mean I should accomplish? Many thanks for your time in reading and hopefully replying. drybones "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... "Ajakibs" wrote in message ...
