I downloaded your zip file, extracted the contents an opened the document; the links updated in less than 1 second. Unless your macro security is too high you should see the same behaviour.



Note: you shouldn't necessarily expect to see any differences in the document unless you look at the field codes.

Really??? Well that's promising. I just ran the document on my colleagues machine (since he has a different version of Office), but he experienced the same thing as me - the script starts, but doesn't appear to end. We notice the first field goes blank but never repopulates with the new data - and all the other fields remain unchanged. There's only one security setting in Word that I'm aware of that enables Macro's (in the Trust Center Dialog). Are there any other security options that I should check for?

Thanks,
Shaun

-=UPDATE=-

I decided to copy & paste the files from my Network Directory directly onto my Desktop and the script "Sort Of" Worked. Everything updated within the body, but not the header/footer.

I Wonder why the network location behaved differently. Any idea's?
