2 & 3. That is correct.
4. You can store the code in doc or docm files, not in docx files
5. Your comment is contradictory:
Does it work when saving, or does it not? AFAIK, the 'wdApp_DocumentBeforeSave' module, if correctly implemented in a Class Module, should work for both 'Save' and 'Save As' procedures.

As I am travelling, I am not in a position to review this matter more fully right now.

I'm not sure if you still remember the issue of showing the name of the file and path on the title bar of the MS Access.

i got a code from the forum (with autoexec) which is implemented as the file open (attached), in this case, it writes the name and the path of the file on the title bar

I'm looking for such code that updates all the fields as we: save, save as, open and print.

best

Jamal
