Is there a Save event in word that VFP can trigger

[Wolfen12]

Hi my helpfull friends;-)

This is what I want to achieve:
I open a new word document, with this I save a version number ex. v1.00 to a table.

When I view this existing document(opening it with my project) and only if user edit this file and saves it, I want to up the version number in my table to v1.01.

Is it possible to determine if a user saves this document so that I can up my version number.

Thank you very much

You can probably use VBA in the document to modify the field value in your dbf. That's the only way I can see this happening since the Word document could be edited outside of your application (started by the user manually instead of through automation).

What if the user opens it, does NOT edit it, and saves it?

Tamar Granor wrote an article(s) in Advisor a couple of years ago about writing COM addings for Office apps that would address the issue of responding to save. I can't remember the exact issue or dates, and I don't have an index handy, but you should be able to find it.

FYI, I keep a list of my articles on my website, so I can find things quickly:

It's not always totally up-to-date since my own website definitely is low on my priority list, but it goes back a good long way.

You may run a neverending program in the background, which checks every an amount of time you specify, the time of changes and you update your database and if you want you change the word document subsequently.
