When the document is first created? When the document is closed? When the user wants to save? What if the user creates a document based on that template, but then wants to close without saving? If the whole thing is to be automatic, which folder should be sued to store the saved document? Are we talking about a document protected for forms? In any case, here is some code to get you going: '_______________________________________ Dim myFileName As String With ActiveDocument.FormFields myFileName = .Item("NameClient").Result _ & "_" & .Item("DateCLient").Result End With With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs) .Name = myFileName .Show End With '_______________________________________ -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org
