Doug, Jules
I have had some problems posting a reply to your replies to "Create Linked
Document Bundle." I hope this gets posted.
Ok. I'm lost. If it can be done how?
Say I have a folder C:\Clients
In this foder there are hundereds of subfolders C:\Clients\A, C:\Clients\B,
ect.
I have another folder that contains 15 document templates. One is a master
for collecting common data elements used in the other 14 documents.
I open a new master document and enter the common data in a user form the
common data is then populated into 14 new documetns that are created with
the userform code. All the documents remain open after creation and the
user form code completes.
Now I edit document one and save it as C:\Clients\123456\Doc.A
I complete this process with the remaining 13 documents saving them
C:\Clients\12345\Doc.B, DocC, etc.
Later one I need to open the master document and change one of the data
fields. When "slave" documents are subsequently opened that change needs to
be reflected automatically.
Doug, by one the fly I mean I want this process to be automated. How will
the includetextfields know where to look for the text as new documents are
created.
Jules,
If your method would work then I will need some baby steps as to how to set
it up.
Thanks.
