Hi macropod,

The AutoOpen macro does the following:
- Grabs the path of the active document and places it in a DocProperty variable
- Updates all fields in the document
- Displays popup message box

This macro named "StartUp" is located in the template let's call it TEMPLATE.DOTM and that template lives on a network drive. All runs fine when you're at the office but work from home or onsite and you get the big delay and of course nothing updates. I just wanted one location for any globally used macros. The reason we wanted path in the doc as it can be frustrating when you have a lot of docs and folders and not know where they are.

I guess the obvious solution is to dice the whole global template concept and go back to creating each type of project doc as a .DOTX template file that includes all the macros. I just felt that if I wanted to include a macro feature I would then have to replicate it manually across a whole bunch of docs and that's a real pain.

Any suggestions?
