Updating all copies of a document or just one

[debful]

I'm trying to think of a way of storing a document in several places but having them linked so that either it can only be updated in one place or else updates anywhere flow into the other stored copies?

Any thoughts on a solution?


Cheers

There are ways to keep text identical using the IncludeText field, but it would only work one-way and not if all the documents have the same name.

You need to look at something like BriefCase or off line sync for synchronising a file.

Perhaps if you told us what you are trying to achieve we could recommend a better solution.

You could set up a .dat file and everynight run on the scheduler to update the other locations by deleting those files and copying the origional to those locations.

Come to think of it IF YOU WANTED TO use VBA. Post this in the vba forum but you could have a procedure that would run when you close the file. This procedure could then copy the current file to all the other locations.
