The information in this article applies to:
When you run a macro that contains the WordBasic SetAttr command, you receive the following error:
WordBasic Err 24
Bad Parameter
This error occurs when your <attribute> argument is additive and contains a combination of 32 (Archive) and 4 (System). For example, any of the following lines will cause this error.
Example Combination that causes the error
------- ---------------------------------
SetAttr "test.doc", 36 32 (Archive) + 4 (System)
SetAttr "test.doc", 37 32 + 4 + 1 (Read Only)
SetAttr "test.doc", 38 32 + 4 + 2 (Hidden)
SetAttr "test.doc", 39 32 + 4 + 1 + 2
Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Set the Archive and System attributes independently in two separate SetAttr commands--one to apply attribute 4, and the other to apply attribute 32. Any remaining attributes you want to apply can be added to either of the two SetAttr command lines.

NOTE: Attribute 4 is not documented under the SetAttr topic in online Help.
