    I am creating an Activity form which will contain the name of a standard Word template document. I want to open an instance of word with this document and then let the user save their modified version of it (with a changed name) and record the name and position in my database so that next time they look at that activity on the form, the users amended document will appear.

    What is the best way to do this?

    You can get help on interacting with Word through VB in the book 'Developing Client-Server Applications : VB 5.0'

    I shall find the code and mail it to you ASAP and ASAIR (As soon as I remember). If you don't get any mail from me on this subject within next 24 hrs, send me a reminder at

    Change is the only constant thing. I have not changed my signature in a long while and now it has started to stink!

    Use meaningfull thread titles. And add "[Resolved]" in the thread title when you have got a satisfactory response.
    And if that response was mine, please think about giving me a rep. I like to collect them!
