Word or Excel gives an error when opening or saving documents:

GW – Groupwise ODMA Integration error message. Unable to load the resource Library.

After re-installing Groupwise 5.5, (even though you did not select ODMA integration for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) on a workstation the user might get errors when opening attachments. "GroupWise ODMA Integration” "Unable to load the resource library. Exit . . ."

Look for GWODM132.DLL in the windows SYSTEM or SYSTEM32 directory and rename

it to GWODM132.BAK. This will keep ODMA from "firing up" and giving that

error.

Note:  Excel might have a file in its startup directory:

With the DLL deleted, the GWxxx.xla (macro) file will try to launch integration upon startup and will give you an error such as : 

Run-time error ‘53’:

File not found: gwodm132.dll

Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart\GWxxx.xla and delete the xla file from the Xlstart folder.

This may also happen on NT workstations when a user account is

added to the machine *after* the GW client has been installed.

This may occur because you installed GroupWise as Administrator and integration is turned off for Administrator. When the user logs in, their registry settings say that ODMA integration is on. Perhaps if we gave the user admin rights and then installed the GW client as that user this would not be an issue. However, if we then later added a user to the workstation they might get the error. Better to rename/delete GWODM132.DLL after the Groupwise installation.

Also, this happened once.  The user could not save any spreadsheet, getting the error:

GWXL97.xla could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.

The fix turned out to be:  Go to p:\windows\application Data\Microsoft\excel and delete Excel.xlb.
