How can I progromatically tell if a word doc has changed? 1

[Stat792]

I'm storing word docs as BLOB's on a sql server and automating word with .NET to open them. But I don't want to save the document every time the user closes it on the chance they changed something.

I know word stores this information somewhere but where?

You want the Saved property of the document - it flips to false as soon as the document is updated.
E.g.
If ActiveDocument.Saved = False Then ActiveDocument.Save
