Saving Same File to Different Folders

[Ken Curtis]

Is it possible to have a file saved to two seperate folders at the same time?
In other words: one 'save' creates two copies each saved in seperate folders?

Not exactly at the same time. But you can either manually, or by using a
macro do successive saves of the same document to different folders.

You'll find a macro to do this at

Hi Ken,

Personally, I'd use a file copying process, rather than doing two saves - that way, the copies in both folders will have the same
attributes. A particular problem using the SaveAs approach is that it destroys any record of the file's original creation date,
which can mess things up if the document contains fields based on that value.

I had that covered on the quoted page also
See the last macro.

Hi Graham,

I didn't look at the last two particularly closely. I got as far as 'Save document to two locations' and saw you were using
'ActiveDocument.SaveAs', but without mentioning the effects that would have on the document metadata. Which is why I posted my
comments. I'd recommend the FileCopy approach for that example instead. Also, if using the SaveAs method, you'd probably want to set
'AddToRecentFiles' to false.

I'll put the page down for a revisit
