Author MS Word: Get the file name saved to?
Jan Hoelterling

2005-04-04, 8:04 pm

Hi folks,

hope someone can help me with this problem:

From my dBase application, I show a list of templates (Word files) in a
specific location. The user selects one, and that document is opened in MS
Word. Now, when the user saves the document (by default under a new name,
because the current one is read only), I need to somehow catch the file name
that they saved the document to. I was wondering if Word has something like
an "onSave" event and how I might use that to capture the file name that the
document was saved to. Or does anybody have another idea how I might
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Jan

If there is a way to do this, I've not found it. In my application I
have the user choose the template file and enter a "saveAs" name. Then
my code opens the templates and saves the file with the new name.

thanks for the suggestion. I had not thought of this approach, it may work
well for me. I'll let you know if I find a solution in Word.
