filepath

Hi,

In excel, after we add the filepath to the footer, whenever we move the file
into different location, the filepath will update itself. But in Word, the
filepath just stay the same, and I have to manually update the filepath. Is
there a way to make it update itself automatically?

Thanks

Adrian

Hi,
There're some bugs on the code:-

1) When I save the file onto the read-only file, normally, it will pop up a
window and say this is read-only, cannot replace it. But this macro just
create an error, and the debugger pops up.

2) After I pressed "save as", if I cancel out, it also pop up the debugger.

Is there a way to solve these two problems?

Probably there is, but it isn't my code.

Yes, I entered correctly.

Another problem:
I got some templates, have following fields:-
<Name>
<Address>
......
......
<filepath>

After I merged the document, the filepath just become a plain text, so
actually the macro just can't update this filepath field. Is there a way to
get around this?

The fields converting is a separate issue. This is normal behavior for a
mailmerge.
