Word Document Save, trigger event after?

I know I can use

Code:

---

App_DocumentBeforeSave

---

to perform events before the document is saved, but this is triggered prior to the Save As dialog appears, the document has not been saved and could be cancelled.

I need to trigger an event once the document has been saved.

Anyone know how to do this?

My total MS WORD VBA development time 4 hours (total, ever).

I don't see a possible way the "create" such a new Event. There are some, but they are only for _Close,_New,_Open Events of an document. And since you need it after the Save-method is done even a newly created Event would have to be triggered from somewhere.

To have a routine run after a document is saved, try the following:

'document module code

Private Sub app_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

'use the 'OnTime' method of the application object (MS Word or Excel)
'to setup a procedure to run immediately. The specified routine will
'run after the document is saved. This of course can also be prevented
'if the save action is cancelled.
app.OnTime When:=Now(), Name:="ProjName.ModName.AfterSaveProcName"

End Sub


'standard module code....

Sub AfterSaveProcName()

'do stuff after document is saved...

End Sub

We actually ditched this minor project because of this.

It was for a QA document and the procedure would have added brief details to a Excel spreadsheet.

But I'll try that out as you have spent the time to type it in.

Thanks

What happens if the user selects Save As?

A user can select 'save', 'save as', 'control s' - whatever,
as long as that 'DocumentBeforeSave' event fires and
sets up the routine to run immediately afterwards.

Word and excel will try to finish processing their own
operations (like a save operation) before running a
procedure initialized with the 'OnTime' method. The
documentation will confirm this.

Having said that, this method is obviously not the best
solution for every application but for my purposes it did
the job.

Hope that answers your question.
