Retrieve latest document

[Anthony904]

I was wondering is it possible create something to retrieve the latest word document.

The word documents (logs) are stored in a sub folder on a shared drive.

The users update these logs.. pulling the latest one to be modified each day.

Instead of having to navigate to the folder then sorting it to retrieve the latest one.. my users want an icon where they can click to retrieve the latest document.

I figure maybe create a script to open the latest document modified.. I'm not to sure how to do this..

any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

my users want an icon where they can click to retrieve the latest document.

If you want an icon on the desktop, you might want to consider using a different programming language (C, Delphi, VB, etc) to do this. Otherwise, you would probably be restricted to IE-only, and then only if you allow ActiveX controls to run.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Rarely done any coding in those languages..

Thanks for the suggestion...

I'll post this in the VB section since that is most familiar I am out of the three mentioned.

thanks!
