![]() Thanks in advance, I have a word document that have links to an excel spreadsheet throughout the body and in the header and footer. I need to update the source to all the links by using a macro in word VBA. The following macro should be able to offer a dialog box to user then they select file and it replaces current source in all links in the word doc, but it is not working in the header and footer. Someone could help me to figure out what is wrong? __________________________________________________ _______________ Code:
Sub Update_link() ' ' Update_link Macro ' Dim oStory As Range Dim oField As Field Dim dlgSelectFile As FileDialog 'Filedialog Object Dim thisFiled As Field Dim selectedFile As Variant ' contain filepath of selected item Dim newfile As Variant Dim fieldCount As Integer, FldInx As Integer ' 'create FileDialog object as File picker Dialog boz ' Set dlgSelectFile = Application.FileDialog(FileDialogType:=msoFileDialogFilePicker) ' With dlgSelectFile ' use Show method to dispaly File Picker dialog box and return user's action If .Show = -1 Then 'step throug each string in the FileDialogSelectedItems collection For Each selectedFile In .SelectedItems newfile = selectedFile 'gets new filepath Next selectedFile Else 'user clicked cancel End If End With Set dlgSelectFile = Nothing ' 'update fields ' For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges fieldCount = oStory.Fields.Count FldInx = 1 While FldInx < fieldCount On Error Resume Next oStory.Fields(FldInx).LinkFormat.SourceFullName = newfile On Error GoTo 0 FldInx = FldInx + 1 Wend Next oStory ' End Sub Last edited by macropod; 07-06-2015 at 01:41 PM.
