A Word document? A Word template? A Word add-in? Not Word related?

You could compare their time stamp. If the file on the server is newer, it
has been updated.

Do you mean to ask how to compare programmatically/automatically?
How do you seee this work in relation to Microsoft Word?

WORD DOCUMENT

I cant see time stamp cause its on server, downloading by java applet on
homepage

Yes, exactly. I need a macro to check the characters between the
original download and the mondays download

If you want to use a Word macro, you could compare their last saved date,
something like:


Dim varDocOne As Variant
Dim varDocTwo As Variant

varDocOne = Documents("Recent.Doc") _
.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTimeLastSaved)
varDocTwo = Documents("Old.Doc") _
.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTimeLastSaved)

If Not varDocOne = varDocTwo Then
MsgBox "Documents are different."
Else
MsgBox "Documents are the same."
End If

or compare the number of words or characters:
..BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyWords)
..BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyCharacters)
