filepath
Hi,
In excel, after we add the filepath to the footer, whenever we move the file into different location, the filepath will update itself. But in Word, the filepath just stay the same, and I have to manually update the filepath. Is there a way to make it update itself automatically? Thanks Adrian

Hi,
There're some bugs on the code:- 1) When I save the file onto the read-only file, normally, it will pop up a window and say this is read-only, cannot replace it. But this macro just create an error, and the debugger pops up. 2) After I pressed "save as", if I cancel out, it also pop up the debugger. Is there a way to solve these two problems?

Yes, I entered correctly.
Another problem: I got some templates, have following fields:- Name Address ...... ...... filepath After I merged the document, the filepath just become a plain text, so actually the macro just can't update this filepath field. Is there a way to get around this? "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
