Does Word have an option to update fields AUTOMATICALLY at open???

Hi Jamal,

The code I supplied only works during the process of opening a document, so how do you know it wasn't working?

Thank you Paul for the prompt answers.

1. I thought that the macro is updating the fields when the document is saved as well. Sure it updates the fields as the file is opened

2. I have attached this macro to the “this document” of a certain file (project) as shown in screenshot 1, it worked properly but it didn’t update the fields existing on the header or footer

I’m not sure if the micro can be developed to:

- - Update the fields when the document is saved, opened, printed, ….

- - Update the fields existing on the header and footer or anywhere on the document

I do appreciate your distinct efforts.

All the best

Jamal
